Question

If 2x-y equals 120, what are the values of x and y?

Answer 1

Answer:

Solve for x.

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

2x−y+y=120+y

2x=y+120

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2}$ = $\frac{y+120}{2}$

x = $\frac{1}{2}$y + 60

solve for y.

Step 1: Add -2x to both sides.

2x−y+−2x=120+−2x

−y=−2x+120

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1

$\frac{-y}{-1}$ = $\frac{-2x + 120}{-1}$

y=2x−120

Answer 2

X=60 and y=20
x and y can be many things that answers the question to 120
