Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

L = D + 28

⅓L = ⅘D

Solve the system of equations using elimination or substitution.  Using substitution:

⅓L = ⅘(L − 28)

Multiply both sides by 15:

5L = 12(L − 28)

Distribute:

5L = 12L − 336

Combine like terms:

336 = 7L

Divide:

L = 48

What is the value of y?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Ok so you would start by getting rid of the fraction. You should know the steps for that by now but here this is what it would look like
3y/4+10=2y/4 Simplify
3y/4+10=1y/2
10=-1y 
I really simplified the last part but this is what it looks like:  \frac{2y}{4}- \frac{3y}{4} = -1y
10=-1y
y=-10
