Answer:

x=7

y=16

Explanation:

The two lengths at the top of the kite are equal. The two lengths at the bottom of the kite are also equal.

Using the bottom lengths:

2x+5 = x+12

Subtract x from each side

2x-x +5 =x+12-x

x+5 =12

Subtract 5 from each side

x+5-5 = 12-5

x=7

Now using the top lengths

y-4 = x+5

y-4 =7+5

y-4 =12

Add 4 to each side

y-4+4=12+4

y =16
