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.

Answer:
x = 8, and y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 variables, so you need 2 equations to form a system of equations in two variables.
The upper left triangle has all angle measures given: 100, 2x + y, 5x + y. We know that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.
First equation:
100 + 2x + y + 5x + y = 180
Simplify:
7x + 2y = 80 (First equation)
Now we see that the upper and lower sides are parallel, so alternate interior angles are congruent. The angles measuring 2x + y and 5x - y are alternate interior angles and are congruent.
Second equation:
2x + y = 5x - y
Simplify:
3x - 2y = 0 (Second equation)
Now we use the first equation and the second equation as a system of simultaneous equations to solve for x and y.
7x + 2y = 80
3x - 2y = 0
Solve the second equation for 2x.
3x = 2y
Now replace 2y in the first equation with 3x.
7x + 3x = 80
10x = 80
x = 8
Replace x with 8 in the second equation.
3(8) - 2x = 0
24 = 2x
x = 12
Answer: x = 8, and y = 12
