Question

Find the values of x and y

Answer 1

Question:

Solution:

According to the data of the problem, we get the following linear system of equations:

x+145=180 EQUATION 1

2x+y=180 EQUATION 2

from EQUATION 1, we obtain:

x = 180-145 = 35

from EQUATION 2, we get:

y = 180-2x = 180-2(35) = 110

So that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

x = 35

y = 110
