nikato · Answer

So you know 
POS=31
POR=3y
ROS=7+y
And
POR+ROS=POS

Can you use substitution to create an equation to solve for y based on the given info?

mw647 · Answer

@nikato I'm not sure what you mean?

nikato · Answer

So you are given POS+=POR+ROS, right?

mw647 · Answer

@nikato Yep.

nikato · Answer

And based on what's given and the diagram,
POS=31
POR=3y
ROS=7+y

nikato · Answer

So substitute the above equation with values

nikato · Answer

You get
31= 3y+7+y
Can you solve for y?
