If x/y + y/x = -1 , ( x unequal y, y unequal 0) then the value of x^2 - y^2 is?

Maurinko [17]

Take your original equation $\frac{x}{y} +\frac{y}{x} =-1$

and multiply both sides by $xy$ to remove the fractions. You are left with

$x^2+y^2=-xy$

So, $x^2+y^2=-xy$

Update: There is no numerical answer that can be found without being given a value for either x or y

Write 9/10 - 3/10 as a mixed number

jeka57 [31]

You do 9/10. Which here it only fits once. So this is 1 1/10. The other one fits 3 times. So its 3 1/10.

If you want the subtraction also done its 1 4/10.

The product of a number and 7, decreased by the number is equal to 42. Find the number.

evablogger [386]

$7$
this is the answer, its pretty simple. I'm not sure the mathematical procedures but if you plug in 7 you get 49. Then all you got to do is subtract by 7, because the question states the number is the same. So basically,
$7(7) - 7 = 42$
