Question

3x + 6y= 180
What is x and y​

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

X

3x + 6y = 180 Use the original expression to find x

3x = 180 - 6y Subtract 6y by both sides

`(3x)/(3) = (180)/(3) - (6y)/(3)` Divide by 3 to get x

x = 60 - 3y

Y

x = 60 - 3y Use the new expression to find y

x - 60 = - 3y Subtract 60 by both sides

`(x - 60)/(-3) = (-3y)/(-3)` Divide by -3 to get y

`-(x)/(3) + 20 = y`
