How do I solve this .... question in the image.

thank you​

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

● x-20 = y+20 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

This is a system of simulataneous equations

Let's simplify the expressions first

● x -20 = y + 20 (1)

Add 20 to both sides

● x -20 + 20 = y+20 +20

● x = y + 40 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

● 2y - 44 = x +22

Substrat 22 from both sides

● 2y-44-22 = x+22-22

● 2y -66 = x (2)

This is the new system:

● x = y+40 (1)

● x = 2y-66 (2)

Substract (2) from (1)

● x-x = y+40-(2y-66)

● y+40-2y+66 = 0

● -y +106 = 0

● y = 106

Replace y with 106 in (1)

● x = y +40

● x = 106+40

● x = 146

So the solutions are (146,106)
