HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!
thank u in advance :))

Answer 1

`x=7\\\\y=16`

Explanation:

First, you must observe the figure attached.

You can identify that:

`2x+5=x+12`

Then, you can solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value. Then, you get that this is:

`2x-x=12-5\\\\x=7`

You can also identify in the figure that:

`y-4=x+5`

Since you know the value of "x", you can substitute it into the equation:

`y-4=(7)+5`

Finally, you must solve for the variable "y" in order to find its value. So, you get:

`y-4=(7)+5\\\\y-4=12\\\\y=12+4\\\\y=16`
