Answer:

x = 18

y = 6

Explanation:

The angle marks tell you that ΔTRS is isosceles, so RT ≅ RS. Similarly, the angle marks tell you ΔTRU is equilateral, so UT ≅ RT. This means ...

x - 7 = 11

x = 18 . . . . . . add 7

__

Angle URT is an exterior angle equal to the sum of congruent angles RTS and RST. This means ...

∠RTS = (1/2)∠URT = 30° . . . . . angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°

5y° = 30°

y = 6 . . . . . . divide by 5°
