Create equations using the given information
1) x+y=56
2) y=x-16
Substitute the value of y into the 1st equation and simplify
1)x+x-16=56
   2x=72
   x=36
Substitute the value of x into the 1st equation and simplify
1)x+y=56
   36+y=56
   y=20

Answer: 20 and 36

Which of these equations have no solution? Check all that apply.
dlinn [17]
First one simplifies to 2x + 6 = 2x + 7  which can't be true   so this one has No Solution.
Same applies to the second equation  ( 5x + 15 = 5x - 15) No solution

also the last one has no solution because it simplifies to  4x + 20 = 4x + 19

\bf \cfrac{3}{x-2}+\cfrac{4}{x-1}-\cfrac{1}{x}    so, no breaks on the denominator thus, the LCD will be all three then.

\bf \cfrac{3}{x-2}+\cfrac{4}{x-1}-\cfrac{1}{x}\implies \cfrac{[3x(x-1)]+[4x(x-2)]-[(x-2)(x-1)]}{x(x-2)(x-1)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{[3x^2-3x]+[4x^2-8x]-[x^2-3x+2]}{x(x-2)(x-1)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{3x^2-3x+4x^2-8x-x^2+3x-2}{x(x-2)(x-1)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{6x^2-8x-2}{x(x-2)(x-1)}\implies \cfrac{2(x^2-4x-1)}{x(x-2)(x-1)}
