Use same-length line segments to solve for x and y.

... PS = SR

... 4x +4 = 7x -17

... 21 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 17-4x

... 7 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

... PS = SR = 4·7+4 = 32

... PQ = QR

... 5y -31 = 2y +5

... 3y = 36 . . . . . . . . . add 31-2y

... y = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

... PQ = QR = 2·12 +5 = 29

... PT = TR = 6·7-2·12 = 18
