1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangle QRST with sides QR = $x$, QT = $3x - 10$, RS = $2y$, and TS = $4y$. Since QRST is a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length.
2. **Set up equations:** Opposite sides are equal, so:
$$QR = TS \implies x = 4y$$
$$QT = RS \implies 3x - 10 = 2y$$
3. **Substitute $x = 4y$ into the second equation:**
$$3(4y) - 10 = 2y$$
$$12y - 10 = 2y$$
4. **Solve for $y$:**
$$12y - 10 = 2y$$
$$12y - \cancel{10} = 2y + \cancel{10}$$
$$12y - 2y = 10$$
$$10y = 10$$
$$y = \frac{10}{10} = 1$$
5. **Find $x$ using $x = 4y$:**
$$x = 4(1) = 4$$
6. **Calculate side lengths:**
$$QR = x = 4$$
$$QT = 3x - 10 = 3(4) - 10 = 12 - 10 = 2$$
$$RS = 2y = 2(1) = 2$$
$$TS = 4y = 4(1) = 4$$
**Final answer:**
$$x = 4, y = 1$$
Side lengths: QR = 4, QT = 2, RS = 2, TS = 4
