There are two similar triangles XYZ, and ABC. If x = 8, c = 5, and y = b, find z and a. How am I suppose to solve this problem if y = b? Do I find what b is first? Or will the answer be with a variable?

similar triangles have consecutive parts:
X=A;Y=B[given, this is a clue!];Z=C

So therefore if x=8, then a=8; if c=5, then z=5!!!
