OK, could someone help me with a geometry problem? I need to know the values of x and y that makes AE parallel to BF, and I know a lot of people are good with math so if you could please help, thanks. Here's the drawing, as best as i did

Well, you know that angle A and angle E are congruent (alternate interior angles), so you can set the two equations equal to each other to find x. Then, since angle B is also congruent to angle E (corresponding angles), set the two equations equal to each other, plug in the value you found for x, and you should get y.
At least that's how I *think* you do it. I've pretty much forgotten everything I learned last year, so it may not be correct. lol Hope this helps! 
That would help explain the confusion... I thought you were trying to find the lengths of the lines, I was like "wtf"... Derek is correct.
4x + 5 = 5x - 13
5 = x - 13
18 = x
thus you now have X, which is 18. Now for the next step
4(18)+5 = 3y - 1
77 = 3y - 1
78 = 3y
26 = y
So in conclusion, X = 18 and Y = 26. Hope this helps.
