x = 2, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you're finding the pattern and then finding x and y, in which case it would be:

In the first one (x, 3, 4, 5, 6) you can see it goes up by 1 each time so x is just 2.

In the second one (y, 9, 12, 15, 18) it goes up by 3 each time so y = 9-3 = 6.
