Answer:

  • x = 7
  • y = 12
  • ∠TPS = 140°
  • ∠TPQ = 40°
  • ∠PRS = 50°

Explanation:

The marked angles at P are a linear pair, so are supplementary:

(5x +5) +(18x+14) = 180

23x = 161 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19

x = 7

Those angle measures are ...

∠TPQ = (5·7 +5)° = 40°

∠TPS = (18·7 +14)° = 140°

__

The marked angle at R is the complement of the acute angle at P, so we have ...

3y +14 +40 = 90

3y = 36

y = 12

∠PRS = (3·12 +14)° = 50°
