Answer 2

Answer:

Y = 6 X = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the proportion, we get:

x:6 = y:2

2x = 6y

2x - 6y = 0 ———- Equation 1

x - y = 12 ———— Equation 2

Multiply Eq. 2 with 2

2 (x - y) = 2(12)

2x - 2y = 24 ———- Equation 3

Subtract Equation 3 and Equation 1, we get

2x - 2y = 24

-(2x - 6y = 0)

4y = 24

y = 6

Put the value of y in Eq. 2

x - 6 = 12

x = 12 + 6

x = 18
