Answer:

X = (167-6y)/18

y = (167-18x)/6

Explanation:

seems like the question is incomplete but we can solve based on what you have provided.

we open the brackets

10x -17 + 6y + 29 +8x +1 = 180

collect like terms

10x + 8x +6y = 180 - 13

18x + 6y = 167

if we want X we need to make it the subject of the formula

18x = 167-6y

X = (167-6y)/18

if we want y we make it subject of the formula

6y = 167-18x

y = (167-18x)/6
