What is the missing number 73 - 17 = 46 + ?

Try solving one side and since you're trying to find the missing #
Since 73+17=90
Subtract 90 off the other #
For instance 90-46=
Answer is 44

I think the person above added instead of subtracted. First you do 73 - 17 which equals 56. Then because you need to make sure both sides are balanced, you have to do 56 - 46 which makes 10.

So the answer is 73 - 17 = 46 + 10

y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both expressions are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:

3x+5=8x+3

5=5x+3

2=5x

2/5=x

0.4=x

Now to solve y:

y=8(2/5)+3

y=16/5+3

y=3.2+3

y=6.2

Check answers:

6.2=3(0.4)+5

6.2=1.2+5

6.2=6.2

6.2=8(0.4)+3

6.2=3.2+3

6.2=6.2

Answers work, so y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2) as an ordered pair
