Set each equation equal to either x or y.

I’ll do x.

x+2y-2y = 3-2y
(Simplify) x = 3-2y

x-y+y = 6+y
(Simplify) x = 6+y

(Set them equal to each other)
3-2y = 6+y

3-2y-6 = 6+y+2y

-3 = 3y

y = -1
x =5

Answer:

x=5

y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=3

x-y=6

x+2y=3

x=6+y

(6+y)+2y=3

x=6+y

6+y+2y=3

x=6+y

6+3y=3

x=6+y

3y=3-6

x=6+y

3y=-3

x=6+y

y=-3/3

x=6+y

y=-1

x=6-1

y=-1

x=5

1/2 + 5/3 - 1<br>------------------<br> 3/4

Hey there :)

$\frac{ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{5}{3} -1 }{ \frac{3}{4} }$
↓ Is the same as
$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{3} -1$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$

Since it is a division by fraction, we can multiply by what is called the reciprocal
( The attached picture might help you )
( $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{3} - 1$ ) × $\frac{4}{3}$
↓ For this part, we need the common denominator, which is 6
$\frac{1(3)}{2(3)}+ \frac{5(2)}{32)} \frac{1(6)}{1(6)}$ × $\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{3}{6}+ \frac{10}{6} - \frac{6}{6}$ × $\frac{4}{3}$
$\frac{7}{6}$ × $\frac{4}{3}$
$\frac{14}{9} = 1\frac{5}{9}$
