Answer:
(x, y) = (5, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>:
LP = x
MP = 2y+3
NP = y+3
KP = 3x -8
KP = MP, LP = NP
<u>Find</u>:
x, y
<u>Solution</u>:
The given relations between the segment lengths let us write two equations:
KP = MP
3x -8 = 2y +3 ⇒ 3x -2y -11 = 0 [eq1]
LP = NP
x = y +3 ⇒ x -y -3 = 0 [eq2]
__
Subtracting 3 times [eq2] from [eq1] gives ...
(3x -2y -11) -3(x -y -3) = 0
y -2 = 0 . . . . . . . . simplify
y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . add 2
Substituting this value into [eq2] gives ...
x = 2 + 3 = 5
The values of x and y are ...
x = 5, y = 2

Answer:
Money owned by Steve = $11
Money owned by Ben = $13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.
Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben
Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3
Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.
⇒ y+3 = 2(x-3) .............(1)
If Ben gives Steve $7
Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7
Then, the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.
⇒ y-7 = 
(x+7) ..........(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get
x = 11 and y = 13
⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11
Money owned by Ben = $13
Answer:
m = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4m/5 - 2m/3 =1
We want to get rid of the fractions so multiply each side by 5*3 or 15
15 *(4m/5 - 2m/3 ) =1*15
15 *(4m/5) -15( 2m/3 ) =1*15
Canceling like factors
3* 4m -5*2m = 15
Multiply
12m - 10m = 15
2m = 15
Divide each side by 2
2m/2 = 15/2
m = 7.5
