All you have to do is add 24 to both sides and you will get y. You add 24 so that it will cancel from one side but be added to the other.
The answer is y=17.

Answer:
$0.03
Step-by-step explanation:
chips: 7.84/16=0.49
pretzels: 12.48/24=0.52
0.52=0.49=0.03
Hello!
Since D is the midpoint and the two equations are and both sides of point D the equations equal each other
9x - 7 = 3x + 17
Now you solve it algebraically
Add 7 to both sides
9x = 3x + 24
Subtract 3x from both sides
6x = 24
Divide both sides by 6
x = 4
Now we put this into both equations and add them
9(4) - 7 = 29
3(4) + 17 = 29
29 + 29 = 58
The answer is 58 units
Hope this helps!
