If m = 5x – 8, m = 3y, and m = 132, find the values of x and y.

Question

campbell_st · Answer

well you have the equation 

132 = 5x - 8

solve for x 

then you also have 

132 = 3y

solve for y. 

hope it helps

campbell_st · Answer

well I think y = 44

cp9454 · Answer

ya that's right y=44 and x=28

anonymous · Answer

x = 132, y = 48
	x = 16, y = 28
	x = 48, y = 132
	x = 28, y = 16

this is my awnsers so you said that x was 132 the y has to be 48 to match

lol.... well it looks like a typo of some kind to me... 

what did you get for x..?

anonymous · Answer

dude I dont know thats why I am asking other people. I suck at math

campbell_st · Answer

well based on the equation, x = 28

or 

140 = 5x

so x = 28

then the same for y

132 = 3y

132/3 = y
