OpenStudy (ujjwal):

equalize the equal sides.. you will get two simple equations.. solve them..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there is only one y?

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

can you find x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would i do 2x+5+x+12+x+5=y-4?

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

no, you need to equalize the sides which are equal..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+5+y-4=x+12+x+12?

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

2x+5=x+12 and, y-4=x+5 now can you solve? just try it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=7 and y=x+9

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

yep x=7 y=x+9=7+9=16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sweet. thank youuuuuuu! i love having you on here!

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=16?

OpenStudy (ujjwal):
