I think with the kinds of mixture problems, it's really helpful to make a table.
The equations you actually need are

and

. Since I was so close, I went ahead and just solved it anyway. You can see my setup on the attached image.
The top one is x=7 and 4 is y=11 and x=7 idk just bacing it off the other triangles bc there all the same size except 3
For the first question x is equal to 4. You get this by adding 7x+2 and 3x and equal it to 42. And then solve algebraically so 10x+2=42
10x=40 so x equals 4
For the second question x is equal to 6.666 and y is equal to 9
You get this by getting x is to 10 as 4 is to 6 and you get y by 6 is to y as 4 is to 6
Hope this helps
