Answer:
x = 12 and y = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
3 times the difference of x and y is -30
3(x-y) = -30
3x-3y = -30 ....(1)
2/3 of x plus 1/2 of y is 19.
[tex]\dfrac{2x}{3}+\dfrac{y}{2}=19\\\\\dfrac{4x+3y}{6}=19\\\\4x+3y=114\ ...(2)[/tex]
Add equation (1) and (2).
3x-3y + 4x+3y = -30 +114
7x = 84
x = 12
Put the value of x in equation (1)
3x-3y = -30
3(12)-3y = -30
36+30 = 3y
3y = 66
y = 22
Hence, the value of x and y are 12 and 22.
