[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the number that must replace x and y to make the three fractions equivalent, we need to find a common denominator.

The first fraction, 6/14, can be simplified to 3/7 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 2.

To make the second fraction, x/7, equivalent to 3/7, x must be equal to 3.

In the third fraction, 24/y, to make it equivalent to 3/7, y must be equal to 8.

So, x = 3 and y = 8.
