You can solve <span>9/x-4/y=8 for x or for y but NOT at the same time.
Solving for x: </span><span>9/x-4/y=8 Mult all 3 terms by xy to eliminate the fractions.
9(xy)/x - 4xy/y = 8xy => 9y - 4x = 8xy, or 9y = 4x + 8xy = 4x(1+2y)
then 9y = x [ 4(1+2y) ]
9y
therefore x = ------------
4(1+2y)
Solve for y using a similar approach.

Answer:
<u>Equation: 87 + 91 + 86 + x = 360</u>
<u>Solution: 264 + x = 360</u>
<u>x = 360 - 264</u>
<u>x = 96</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
First three Kelsea's test grades : 87, 91 and 86
2. What score must she get on her fourth test to receive at least an A- ?
Define variable: x that represents the grade needed by Kelsea on her fourth test to receive at least an A-
Equation: 87 + 91 + 86 + x = 360
Solution: 264 + x = 360
x = 360 - 264
x = 96
<u>Now you can understand if the previous work you did is correct</u>
