Your answers are not answers. Numerical answers are required. You can't give answers in terms of x and y, which are variables.

can you help explain more?
 
Sometimes problems want you work it all the way to a numerical answer, a single simple value for the teacher to check. Your answer reduces it to an expression where you could’ve done the arithmetic evaluation to get a numerical answer but stopped short of that goal.

it looks like you are free to select x and y at the start.

Could you hint me how to get the numerical answer?
