Question

Find the values of x and y. X= __ Y= __

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 20

y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out x do this.

3x + 2x = 7x - 40 (collect like terms)

5x = 7x -40 (subtract 7x on both sides)

-2x = -40 (divide by -2 on both sides)

x = 20

Plug in to get y

Since 7x - 40 and y are vertical they equal the same amount

7(20) - 40 = y (multiply 7 by 20)

140 - 40 = y (collect like terms)

100 = y
