Answer:
x=70
y=75
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+x+5-35=180
3x-30=180
3x=210
x=70
2(70)-35=105
180-105=75
y=75

1/2 would not be a useful benchmark to compare these 2 fractions because both of them are greater than half. The benchmark fraction 1/2 is most useful when one fraction is less than half and the other more than 1/2. 5/8 is more than 4/8(1/2), and 9/10 is more than 5/10(1/2).
