Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.

My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
Sum of two numbers is 62?
Let's call the two numbers
and 
let's find two same numbers that would add up to 62: 31.
31 + 31 = 62
since it said the difference is 8, we have to add 4 to one number and subtract 4 from another.
31 - 4 = 27
31 + 4 = 35
Therefore, the two numbers following the given rules are 27 and 35
