Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given variable definitions, we can write the equations ...
y = x + 9
2(x +y) = 30
__
Solving the second equation for y, we have ...
y = 15 -x
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
15 -x = x +9
6 = 2x . . . . . . . . . add x-9
3 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3+9 = 12 . . . . substitute into the first equation
The numbers are (x, y) = (3, 12).

Micah was asked to add the following expressions:

First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator
First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.

So he got , 
In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2 are added with x^2
If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.
So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.
