Question

This is the last one but how do you find y ? what do I subtract 5 from ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 250

Step 1:

To solve, we plug in 50x for y.

$50x=200+10x$

Then, we subtract the 10x from the right side. Our goal is to get the x by itself first.

$40x=200$

Then, we divide both sides by 40, since we have to get the x by itself.

$\frac{40x}{40}=x\\\\\frac{200}{40} =5$

x = 5

Step 2:

Now that we found x, we plug in 5 to the original equation and solve from there.

$y=200+10(5)\\y=200+50\\y=250$

y = 250
