Remember that

If two triangles are congruent, then its corresponding angles and corresponding sides are congruent

In this problem

triangle MTW and triangle BGK are congruent

that means

mmmso

Find the value of x

we have that

msubstitute given values

4x-3=45

4x=48

x=16

Find the value of y

we have

step 1

Find the measure of angle M

msubstitute

mmmstep 2

Find the value of y

we have

m94=11y+6

11y=94-6

11y=88

y=8
