Given:
Three numbers in an AP, all positive.
Sum is 21.
Sum of squares is 155.
Common difference is positive.

We do not know what x and y stand for.  Will just solve for the three numbers in the AP.
Let m=middle number, then since sum=21, m=21/3=7
Let d=common difference.
Sum of squares
(7-d)^2+7^2+(7+d)^2=155
Expand left-hand side
3*7^2-2d^2=155
d^2=(155-147)/2=4
d=+2 or -2
=+2  (common difference is positive)

Therefore the three numbers of the AP are
{7-2,7,7+2}, or
{5,7,9}
