Answer:

x: 8.75

y: 8.5

Explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar, you can find the scale of LJK relevant to TRS by dividing 7/4 = 1.75

This means each side of LJK is 1.75 times greater than the respective side of TRS

Now you can plug this in to the other two sides by doing 5*1.75=8.75 and 6*1.75=10.5

This solves x, but since side LK is y+2, y is 10.5-2=8.5

x=8.75

y=8.5
