Answer:

x = 9

y = 5

Explanation:

<N and < M are opposite equal sides. So they are equal as well. In addition, the base is equal to the other 2 sides. That means you are dealing with an equilateral triangle. All the angles are equal to 60 degrees.

7x - 3 = 60 degrees Add 3 to both sides

3 3

7x = 63 Divide by 7

x = 63/7

x = 9

Just for the sake of completeness, we'll find y

11y + 5 = 60 Subtract 5 from both sides

-5 -5

11y = 55 Divide by 11

y = 55 /11

y = 5
