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.
