Need help solving the puzzle

Let gift box be x and the Christmas tree be y.

Then:

The equation formed by plugging x in place of gift box and christmas tree will be:

(1) 2x + y + 3 = 16

➛ 2x + y = 13

(2) 3x + y + 1 = 14

➛ 3x + y = 13

Subtracting (2) from (1), And we get:

➛ 3x + y - 2x - y = 0

➛ x = 0

Then, y = 13

We need to find:

• yx + x

= 13 × 0 + 0

= 0

Hence:-

~

The correct answer is x = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given an expression,

1/4x = 5/8

To solve the expression

The given expression is 1/4x = 5/8

(Cross multiply both sides we get)

8 = 5 * 4x

8 = 20x

20x = 8

x = 8/20

x = 2/5

Therefore the value of x = 2/5

The correct answer is x = 2/5
