One of the theorem for a triangle is side opposite the largest angle is longest and side opposite the smallest angle is shortest.
Therefore we know AB = AC but we do not have any information on BC because BC is opposite angle Y. Y could equal x and the triangle could be an equilateral triangle or the triangle could be a 45-45-90 triangle where Y will be 90 degree hence side opposite angle Y i.e. BC would be bigger than AB and AC.
