Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

x - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]y =  30  Replace y with 15

x - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex](`15) = 30          [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex][tex](\frac{15}{1}[/tex]) = [tex]\frac{30}{10}[/tex] = 3

x - 10 = 30  Add 10 to both sides of the equation

x = 40

Check:

x - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]y = 30

40 - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex](15) =30

40 - 10 = 30

Answer:

x would be equal to 160.

Step-by-step explanation:

When y=15, [tex]\frac{2}{3}*15=10[/tex].

So, we can rephrase this as [tex]\frac{1}{4}x-10=30[/tex].

Because we need the end result to be equal to 30, we need to get [tex]40-10=30.[/tex]

Because we need to make 40 with the fraction [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], we can have x be equal to 160, and we would get [tex]\frac{160}{4}=40[/tex].

So, we know that x = 160.
