Question

If 2/3=x/24=84/y , what is x+y

Please answer, 15 points T^T

Answer 1

142

Explanation:

Because 2/3=x/24=84/y, we first find x:

2/3=x/24. We can cross multiply, so the equation is 3x=48;

x=16.

Now we have:

2/3=16/24=84/y

We find y by doing the same:

16/24=84/y

Cross multiply: 16y=24*84

16y=2016

y=126

Now we add y and x:

16+126

=142

Hope this helps!
