If the points (x + 5, 8) and (9, y - 6) are equal, then the values of x and y will be _____?
- x = 4, y = 14
- x = 6, y = 12
- x = 3, y = 3
- None of these
Explanation
Given the points (x + 5, 8) and (9, y - 6) are equal, we can set up the equations:
x + 5 = 9 ... (1)
8 = y - 6 ... (2)
Solving (1):
x = 9 - 5
x = 4
Solving (2):
y = 8 + 6
y = 14
The values of x and y are x = 4 and y = 14.
