Question

please help me find x and y. I'll, mark most brilliance to whoever helps me out! please include the steps on how to solve this problem. :)

Answer 1

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.
