use the same method you used to answer the other question
OpenStudy (daniellelovee):
x+y=20
x+2y=28
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it be C?
OpenStudy (daniellelovee):
hold on
OpenStudy (daniellelovee):
i think so because the other question was asking for the wheels but this is not specifying soo

because if we work x+y=20 backwards we get 20-x=y
OpenStudy (daniellelovee):
which will give -x+20=y
makes sense to you?
