Answer:

130

Explanation:

Since we know all three angles on a triangle added together equals 180 and it is also a rule that if an angle is split like this is here on a straight line those added together to equal 180

So we know the exterior angle will be equal to the sum of those two angles in the triangle

So we set up an equation like this


10x+10=50+5x+20\\

Simplify


10x+10=5x+70

Subtract 10 on both sides


10x=5x+60

Subtract 5x on both sides


5x=60

Divide both sides by 5


x=12

Now that we know x we can find angle YST by filling in x


10(12)+10\\120+10\\130

Angle YST is equal to 130

Hope this helps please let know if you have further questions
