Question

What is the value of x?

What is the value of y?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is x = 24 and y = 12

Explanation:

Data

ED = x HJ = 18

DF = 16 JG = y

EF = 20 HG = 15

Process

1.- Find x

Use proportions to find it

ED/EF = HJ/HG

Substitution

x/20 = 18/15

Solve for x

x = 20(18/15)

x = 360/15

x = 24

2.- Find y

JG/JH = DF/ED

Substitution

y/18 = 16/24

Solve for y

y = 18(16/24)

y = 288/24

y = 12
