Since PS = PT, then angles PST and PTS are equal

 

And the measure of either  one =  [180 - 16] / 2 = 164 / 2 = 82°

 

And

 

m<RSQ + m<PST +  m<SPT +  m<QPT   = 180°     .....    by substitution, we have  ....

 

43°    +     82°   +  16°  + m<QPT   = 180°     simplify

 

141° +  m<QPT =  180°      subtract 141 from each side

 

m<QPT  = 39°  =  " y"
