ok, let me see what i can come up with.

anonymous · Answer

17.31 and 13.65 is what i get.

anonymous · Answer

Yes, that's what I got as well...13.65 for y and 17.31 for x

anonymous · Answer

79.23-75.57=3.66
3.66*3=10.98
75.57+10.98=86.55
86.55/5=17.31
17.31-3.66=13.65

No prob. I'm not exactly sure how your steps worked, but if you got the same answer I guess your method works as well.
