Given that \(AOB\) and \(COD\) are straight lines, find the value(s) of the unknown(s) in the following figures, stating your reasons clearly.

  1. The figure shows two intersecting straight lines forming two triangles, \(\triangle AOC\) and \(\triangle BOD\). In \(\triangle AOC\), \(\angle ACO = 62^\circ\) and \(\angle AOC\) is adjacent to an exterior angle of \(143^\circ\). In \(\triangle BOD\), \(\angle BDO = 105^\circ\). Find the values of \(x\) and \(y\).

  2. The figure shows two intersecting lines \(AOB\) and \(COD\). \(\triangle AOD\) has an interior angle \(\angle OAD = 28^\circ\) and an exterior angle of \(y^\circ\) at \(D\). \(\triangle COB\) is an isosceles triangle where \(CO = OB\), with \(\angle OCB = x^\circ\). The angle \(\angle DOB\) is given as \(78^\circ\). Find the values of \(x\) and \(y\).
