Question

If X=Y then what does both X and Y equal in:

X*75-62+9=12

Answer 1

X = 0.87

Explanation:

BODMAS

B - Bracket, O - Of, D - Division, M - Multiplication, A - Addition, S - Subtraction

Multiplication comes before addition and subtraction in the order, so

75X - 62 + 9 = 12

75X - 53 = 12

Add 53 to both sides

75X -53 + 53 = 12 + 53

75X = 65

Divide both sides by 75

X = 0.87
