This is the 2nd time within a few minutes that you have posted this question.  I responded the first time and gave you some suggestions.  If you have closed your previous post, then I feel you have not appreciated my efforts and have thrown them away.  What happened?

@mathmale I respect your help just I have on  clue what to do on this x and y thing

workareject · Answer

The sides x+3 and 15 are the same, so you have to solve for , 15-3= 12. so x=12. now for the other two sides. so plug in 12 for x, 2(15)-4, which the answer is 26. so just think 3y-1= 26. What would y be?

youd ad one right then divid it by 3 and get your y

Closing a post in which I tried to give you some guidance is a fine way to show your appreciation.  I notice you did not finish the problem you posted previously.  You may need to invest more time and effort into learning this material than you currently are investing.

In this case, I prefer not to.  I don't want to type in the same information that I did the first time.  Let this be a lesson to you.
