Let the first number be 'x' and the second number is 'y'

Equation 1: x + y = 52
Equation 2: x - y = 38

Rearranging equation 2 to make either x or y the subject
x = 38 + y

Substituting x = 38 + y into equation 1

x + y = 52
(38+y) + y = 52
38 + 2y = 52
2y = 52 - 38
2y = 14
y = 7

Substitute y = 7 into either equation 1 or equation 2 to find x

x + y = 52
x + 7 = 52
x = 52 - 7
x = 45

x = 45
y = 7

Can someone explain how I multiply both sides ?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1 = 1/(x-2)

Multiply both sides by (x-2),

1*(x-2) = 1/(x-2) * (x-2)

x-2 = 1

Adding 2 on both sides,

x-2+2 = 1+2

x = 3
