Question

Please help!
the answer is in the picture because i can’t type it out :D

Answer 1

x = 15

y = 4

Explanation:

In a triangle a line parallel to any of the sides of the triangle divides the remaining two sides in the proportion. Therefore,

`(12)/(y) = (x)/(5) = (18)/(6) \\ \\ (12)/(y) = (x)/(5) = (3)/(1) \\ \\ \implies \:(x)/(5) = (3)/(1) \\ \\ x = 5 * 3 \\ \\ x = 15 \\ \\ \\ (12)/(y) = (3)/(1) \\ \\ 3y = 12 \\ \\ y = (12)/(3) \\ \\ y = 4`

Answer 2

x is 20 and y is 23
