We will determine the value of x as follows:


(128+x)/(154+112)=(x)/(154)

Now, we operate:


154(128+x)=266x\Rightarrow19712+154x=266x
\Rightarrow112x=19712\Rightarrow x=176

From this, we have that x equals 176 units.

We will determine the value of y as follows:


(154+112)/(y)=(154)/(99)

Now, we solve for y:


\Rightarrow(266)/(y)=(154)/(99)\Rightarrow y=(266\cdot99)/(154)\Rightarrow y=171

From this, we have that y equals 171 units.
