Question

If
4x+(y+x)=180
what is x? what is y?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

`4x+(y+x)=180\\\\\text{Solve for}\ x:\\\\4x+y+x=180\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(4x+x)+y=180\qquad\text{subtract}\ y\ \text{from both sides}\\\\5x=180-y\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\(5x)/(5)=(180-y)/(5)\\\\\boxed{x=(180-y)/(5)}\\\\\text{Solve for}\ y:\\\\5x+y=180\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=180-5x}`
