If $x+2y=75$ then possible values of x and y can be

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 2:

To solve this problem, we need to substitute the given values of $x$ and $y$ from each option into the equation $x+2y=75$ and check which option satisfies the equation.

Let's test each option:

**Option 1: $x=35, y=15$**
Substitute these values into the equation:
$35 + 2(15) = 35 + 30 = 65$
Since $65 
eq 75$, this option is incorrect.

**Option 2: $x=25, y=25$**
Substitute these values into the equation:
$25 + 2(25) = 25 + 50 = 75$
Since $75 = 75$, this option is correct.

**Option 3: $x=15, y=20$**
Substitute these values into the equation:
$15 + 2(20) = 15 + 40 = 55$
Since $55 
eq 75$, this option is incorrect.

**Option 4: $x=35, y=25$**
Substitute these values into the equation:
$35 + 2(25) = 35 + 50 = 85$
Since $85 
eq 75$, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the possible values of $x$ and $y$ that satisfy the equation $x+2y=75$ are $x=25$ and $y=25$.

The incorrect option is 1: This option is incorrect because when $x=35$ and $y=15$, $x+2y = 35 + 2(15) = 35 + 30 = 65$, which is not equal to 75.
The incorrect option is 3: This option is incorrect because when $x=15$ and $y=20$, $x+2y = 15 + 2(20) = 15 + 40 = 55$, which is not equal to 75.
The incorrect option is 4: This option is incorrect because when $x=35$ and $y=25$, $x+2y = 35 + 2(25) = 35 + 50 = 85$, which is not equal to 75.
