Answer:14
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=56
x:y=5:3
Sum of ratio=5+3
Sum of ratio=8
x=5/8x56
x=(5x56) ➗ 8
x=280 ➗ 8
x=35
y=3/8x56
y=(3x56) ➗ 8
y=168 ➗ 8
y=21
x-y
35-21=14
x-y=14
The value of y in 
is 6/7
<h3>How to solve for y?</h3>
The equation is given as:
Open the bracket
-3 = 7y - 9
Add 9 to both sides of the equation
7y = 6
Divide both sides by 7
y= 6/7
Hence, the value of y in is 6/7

Solve for y
If ABC and DEF are complementary, then the value of x will be,
90 - ABC = x
90 - 53 = x
x = 37°
40 because if you multiply 2 by 100 it is 200 then divide that by 5 and you get 40
X = 33
The angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees
