Set up a system of equation:
p+m=53
m=2p+11

Use the substitution method to for "m"
p+(2p+11)=53
3p+11=53
3p=42
p=14

Put "p" into either equation to solve for "m"
m=2(14)+11
m=28+11
m=39

Check by plugging both "p" and "m" into both equations to make sure they work:
14+39=53
53=53
That one works, now let's check the other one
39=2(14)+11
39=28+11
39=39
They both work!

Answer: 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x/10 = 10/8

reduce the fraction with 2

x/10=5/4

simplify the equation using cross-multiplication

4x=50

divide both sides by 4

x=25/2

or
