The values of x and y are x = 45/7 and y = 42/5

How to determine the values of x and y?

To calculate the value of x

Here, we make use of the ratio

AC : BC = AQ : QP

This gives

x : 5 = x + 9 : 12

Express as fractions

x/5 = x + 9/12

Cross multiply

12x = 5x + 45

Evaluate the like terms

7x = 45

Divide by 7

x = 45/7

To calculate the value of y

Here, we make use of the ratio

AB : BC = AP : PQ

This gives

6 : 5 = 6 + y : 12

Express as fractions

6/5 = 6 + y/12

Cross multiply

30 + 5y = 72

Evaluate the like terms

5y = 42

Divide by 5

y = 42/5

Hence, the values of x and y are x = 45/7 and y = 42/5
