i think so, give me a second

Answer 4

what you got?

Answer 5

ok i have no clue what to do. is there any other way you could explain it?

Answer 6

well that was just mean of two numbers

Answer 7

\[\frac{ x+0 }{ 2 }=5 and \frac{ y-8 }{ 2 }=4\]

Answer 8

x=10 and y=8+8=16

Answer 9

how do you find what x and y equal though? that's where im getting lost

Answer 10

multiply both sides by 2 for x and for y
