X+5y=-11 (1)
2x-3y=17 (2)

2(1)-(2)
2x+10y-2x+3y=-22-17
13y=-39
y=-3

Sub y=-3 in (1)
x+5(-3)=-11
x=4

So x+y= -3+4 =1

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

BREAKDOWN

10 times: 10 ×

The sum of: ( ) + ( )

which would be : 10 × ( ) + ( )

half a number: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( )

and 8: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( 8 )

is 12 : 10 × ( X/2 + 8 ) = 12

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

SIMPLIFICATION

Multiply ten: 10 X (X/2 + 8) = 12

which equals to: 5x + 80 = 12

bring the like terms together: 5x = 80 - 12

Equals: 5x = 78

Find out X:. x = 78/5

FINAL ANSWER:. X = 15.9
