Question

7. If SK = 13x - 5, KY= 2x + 9, and SY = 36-x, find each value.

Answer 1

Answer:

SY=34, SK=21 and KY=13

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

SY=SK+KY

substitute the given values

(36-x)=(13x-5)+(2x+9)

solve for x

36-x=15x+4

15x+x=36-4

16x=32

x=2

Find the value of SY

SY=(36-x)=36-2=34

Find the value of SK

SK=(13x-5)=13(2)-5=21

Find the value of KY

KY=(2x+9)=2(2)+9=13
