Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{x=15;\ y=4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{18}=\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\(x)(6)=(18)(5)\\\\6x=90\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\\huge\boxed{x=15}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{y}{5}=\dfrac{12}{x}[/tex]

substitute x = 15:

[tex]\dfrac{y}{5}=\dfrac{12:3}{15:3}\\\\\dfrac{y}{5}=\dfrac{4}{5}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\(y)(5)=(5)(4)\\\\5y=20\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\huge\boxed{y=4}[/tex]
