So the first two line segments added together equals the full line segment. So, 8y + 5 + 7y = 13y + 25
15y + 5 = 13y + 25
2y = 20
y = 10
Answer:
x = 3.3
Step-by-step explanation:
A equation is given to us and we need to solve out for x. The given equation is ,
Take log on both sides with base as " 10" . We have ,
Simplify using the property of log , , we have ,
Simplify ,
Again simplify using the property of log ,
We know that log 5 = 0.69 and log 2 = 0.301 , on substituting this , we have ,
Simplify the RHS ,
Add 2 both sides ,
Hence the Value of x is 3.30 .
First set up your two equations:
x + y = 90
x = 2y - 30
Then substitute what x equals in the second equation into the first equation:
(2y -30) + y = 90
Now solve for y:
3y -30 = 90
3y = 120
y = 40
Then use y = 40 and substitute the value for y into one of your original equations and solve for x. I'll choose the first one, but either one will work.
x+ 40 = 90
x = 50
So your solution is x = 50 and y = 40
