Answer 2

Answer:

x = 24

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that (6x - 7) + (3x - 29) = 180 ---- eq. 1

                                8y + 17 = 6x - 7 -------- eq. 2

find: x and y

solution:

solve x using eq. 1

• (6x - 7) + (3x - 29) = 180  combine similar terms
• 6x + 3x = 180 + 7 + 29
• 9x = 216
• x = 216 / 9
• x = 24

substitute x = 24 into eq. 2

• 8y + 17 = 6x - 7
• 8y + 17 = 6(24) - 7
• 8y = 114 - 7 - 17
• y = 120/8
• y = 15
