Answer:

y+x=21 2/3

Explanation:

AHHHHH I love these types of problems!

So we know that 95+85+2y-5+3x+55=360. Congrats! we now have an equation!

Let's do the easy part first. What's 95+85?

You guessed it! That's 180.

So we know that 2y-5+3x+55=180. Let's simplify this to make it easier!

2y+3x+50=180

Then we solve

2y+3x+50=180

-50 -50

2y+3x=130

/2 /2

y+3x=65.

/3 /3

y+x=21 2/3

There you have it! 21 2/3.
