Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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
