15,000 x 5 = 9,500 + 9,500 + 10,000 + x + y

1 answer

To solve for \( x \) and \( y \) in the equation:

\[ 15,000 \times 5 = 9,500 + 9,500 + 10,000 + x + y \]

First, calculate \( 15,000 \times 5 \):

\[ 15,000 \times 5 = 75,000 \]

Now the equation simplifies to:

\[ 75,000 = 9,500 + 9,500 + 10,000 + x + y \]

Next, add the numbers on the right side:

\[ 9,500 + 9,500 = 19,000 \] \[ 19,000 + 10,000 = 29,000 \]

So the equation now is:

\[ 75,000 = 29,000 + x + y \]

To isolate \( x + y \), subtract \( 29,000 \) from both sides:

\[ 75,000 - 29,000 = x + y \] \[ 46,000 = x + y \]

Thus, we find that:

\[ x + y = 46,000 \]

This means \( x \) and \( y \) can take any values that sum up to \( 46,000 \). There are infinitely many combinations for \( x \) and \( y \) that satisfy this equation.
