Question

Find the values of x and y.​
x= ?
y= ?

Answer 1

x=5/3

y=4/5

Explanation:

Just set each equation equal to zero and solve for x and y

for x:

3x-5=0

3x=5

x=5/3

for y:

5y-4=0

5y=4

y=4/5

Answer 2

x = 7 ; y = 4

Explanation:

y + 12 = 5y - 4

5y - y = 12 + 4

4y = 16

y = 16/4

y = 4

4 + 12 = 16

3x - 5 = 16

3x = 16 + 5

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7
