Question

Find the value of x and y if:
a) (x - 5, 8) = (6,8)
b) (4, 3y - 7) =(4, 11)​

Answer 1

x = 11 and y = 6

Step-by-step explanation

x - 5 = 6

so x = 5+6

x = 11

3y-7=11

3y = 11+7

3y = 18

y = 6

if

(x,y) = (a,b)

then

x = a

y = b

Answer 2

Answer:

x- 40 = 48

x = 48 + 40

x = 88

b). 12y - 7 = 44

12y. 44 + 7

12y = 51

y = 51/12
