You can check that you are right by trying ##x=6, y=9## to see whether it all adds up!

The only error I can find is that you have misspelled "height"!
 
Without looking at the responses which came after #1 posting,

You can identify three equations for a system:
x+y=15
15*2y=A
15*3x=A
A is for Area and x and y are as you assigned in your picture.
The system should indicate what steps can follow.
