Question

Find the values of x and y.

Answer 1

x = 24

y = 59

Explanation:

To solve for x, we can say that;

(5x) + (2x + 12) = 180

7x + 12 = 180

7x = 180 - 12

7x = 168

x = 168 / 7

x = 24

To solve fore y, we can say that;

(3y) + (y - 56) = 180

4y - 56 = 180

4y = 180 + 56

4y = 236

y = 236 / 4

y = 59

Hope this helps!
