wat is x and Y?

Favorite Answer

26y + 2x = 180
13y + x = 90
x = 90-13y

21y + 3(90-13y) = 180
21y + 270 - 39y = 180
-18y = -90
y = 5

back to the first equation
26(5) + 2x = 180
130 + 2x = 180
2x = 50
x = 25...Show more

First you multiply both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the second equation by 2. This is to match up the x's so you can eliminate them.

78y + 6x = 540
42y + 6x = 360

Now subtract these equations.

36y = 180

y = 180/36 = 5


Now plug y into one of the equations to find x:
26(5) + 2x = 180
130 + 2x = 180
2x = 50
x = 25


x = 25
y = 5...Show more

what those first two people said ^^^
haha im too lazy to figure it out
P.S. What grade are you in? I was learning this stuff in like 7th grade...Show more
