\large\textsf{Answer:}


\mathtt{x = 9.4}


\mathtt{y = 14.3}


\textsf{Please see below.}


\large\textsf{Step-by-step explanation:}


\textsf{For these problems, we are asked to solve for the missing variables.}


\textsf{To start, we have \underline{2 exterior angles} and \underline{2 secant lines }that \underline{intersect} at a \underline{vertex}.}


\boxed{\Large\textsf{What is a Vertex?}}


\textsf{A \underline{Vertex} is a \underline{point of intersection} of \underline{2} or more \underline{lines.}}


\boxed{\Large\textsf{What are Exterior Angles?}}


\textsf{\underline{Exterior Angles} are \underline{angles} that are \underline{outside} of a circle.}


\boxed{\Large\textsf{What are Secant Lines?}}


\textsf{\underline{Secent Lines} are \underline{lines} that intersect a circle \underline{twice}.}


\textsf{Because we have Intersecting Secants \underline{outside} of the circle, we should use this formula;}


\mathtt{a(a+b)=c(c+d)}\\


\textsf{Smaller segment is first, then the larger segment is inside the parentheses.}


\underline{\textsf{Substitute values from 10;}}


\mathtt{5(5+x)=6(6+6)}


\underline{\textsf{Multiply:}}


\mathtt{25+5x = 72}


\underline{\textsf{Subtract 25 from both sides:}}


\mathtt{5x = 47}


\underline{\textsf{Divide by 5:}}


\boxed{\mathtt{x = 9.4}}


\textsf{Let's do the same for 11.}


\underline{\textsf{Substitute values from 11;}}


\mathtt{10(10+y)=9(9+18)}


\underline{\textsf{Multiply:}}


\mathtt{100+10y=243}


\underline{\textsf{Subtract 100 from both sides:}}


\mathtt{10y=143}


\underline{\textsf{Divide by 10:}}


\boxed{\mathtt{y=14.3}}
