Answer:
Let's start with 5 squared. 5 squared, or just squared in general, represents the number behind it times itself.
Now, add 3
Next, subtract 1
Now, you must divide, because the line under the first equation represents division, or a fraction. For this case, division. Before dividing your result, <em>27</em>, by <em>y</em>, the second equation, you first want to solve equation 2, <em>y.</em>
Lastly, divide <em>x</em> by <em>y, </em>27 divided by 9
The problem is solved! The final answer is 3
