You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)

Answer:
112
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we know that a triangle's sides must add up to have a sum of 180. If you add up your given lengths and you should get 47, not including x. Then if you look at the left side/the one without a given length and it should be identical to the 21, so you know that side is 21. So now add 21 to 47, you should get 68. Finally, you subtract 68 from 180 like this: 180-68, and it should equal 112. So you're answer is 112.
