Ok, l = lewa's backpack and a= alai's. :)

1/2a -5 = l.
so to solve,
1/2 (36) - 5 = l.
18 - 5 = l.
13 = l. 

so Lewa's backpack weighs 13 pounds. Hope it helps!

Solve this equation:<br><br> 110 = 9x + 5y<br><br><br> Help please!!!❤️
Archy [21]

We can't find explicit values for x and y, since there is only one equation, but two variables.


The best we can do is solve for one variable with respect to the other:


Solve for x:


subtract 5y from both sides:


110-5y = 9x


divide both sides by 9:


\frac{110-5y}{9} = x


Solve for y:


subtract 9x from both sides:


110-9x = 5y


divide both sides by 5:


\frac{110-9x}{5} = y
