Answer:

x = 10.4

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the triangles are similar

x/26 = 8/20 (side lengths must be proportional) cross multiply expressions

20x = 208 divide both sides by 20

x = 10.4

same goes for y

6/(6+y) = 8/20 cross multiply expressions

120 = 8y + 48 subtract 48 from both sides

72 = 8y divide both sides by 8

9 = y
