The answer would be 9. Hope that helped!
2x - 17?
= -17 +2x (using commutative property of addition, changing order and sum remains the same)
answer is A) -17 + 2x
3y = 5x + 30
y + 5x = 50 .......(1)
3y - 5x = 30 .....(2) - rearranging the first equation.
Add (1) and (2):-
4y = 80
y = 20
Now plug y = 20 into equation (1):-
20 + 5x = 50
5x = 30
x = 6
The 2 numbers are 6 and 20.
