Answer:
x=2
SK=21
KY=13
SY=34
Step-by-step explanation:
finding x:
SK+KY=SY
13x-5+2x+9=36-x
get x by itself
13x+2x+1x=36+5-9
simplify
16x=32
divide by 16 on both sides
Now plug in x (2) into the separate formulas
SK:
13(2)-5
26-5
21
KY:
2(2)+9
4+9
13
SY:
36-(2)
34
To double check your answer plug in what you got
21+13=SY
and we got 34 above so this is correct.

PEMDAS means always do parenthesis first, which means subtract 10-6=4
