This is a multi step problem. For this we do system of equations.
2.5x + 7y = 82.50
X+y = 24
To do the elimination method we have to make the y values equals to each other so we multiply the x+y=24 equation by 7
7x +7y = 168
-
2.5x + 7y = 82.50
———————————-
4.5x = 85.50

4.5. 4.5
X = 19

Answer:
Not sure if this is correct but maybe it is 34?
This is 5 point higher the points and maybe people will do it looks like a lot
D. Have the same number of valence electrons
eq^2: 7x=84 divide 84 by 7 which is 12.
therefore x is equal to 12. Then
1) take that 12 you got in equation 2 and substitute in equation 1 which is:
7x-12y=180
7(12)-12y=180
84 -12y=180
-12y=180-84
-12y=96 ............divide both sides with -12
-y=8 (×-1) both sides
y= -8
therefore 7(12)-12(-8)=180
