Since:


\Delta RWS\cong\Delta TUV

We can conclude:

Using the triangle sum theorem:


8x-27+90+29=180
\begin{gathered} 8x+92=180 \\ 8x=180-92 \\ 8x=88 \\ x=(88)/(8) \\ x=11 \end{gathered}

Finally:


\begin{gathered} SR=TV \\ 3y+7=25 \\ 3y=25-7 \\ 3y=18 \\ y=(18)/(3) \\ y=6 \end{gathered}

Answer:

x = 11

y = 6
