Answer:

x + y = 17

x - y = 29

x = 17 - y

x - y = 29

x = 17 - y

17 - y - y = 29

x = 17 - y

17 - 2y = 29

x = 17 - y

- 2y = 29 - 17

x = 17 - y

-2y = 12

x = 17 - y

y = -6

x = 17 - (-6)

y = -6

x = 17 + 6

y = -6

x = 23

y = -6

X + y = 17
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - y - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - 2y = 29

x = 17 - y
- 2y = 29 - 17

x = 17 - y
-2y = 12

x = 17 - y
y = -6

x = 17 - (-6)
y = -6

x = 17 + 6
y = -6

x = 23
y = -6

$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}$

Re-write with a common denominator, in this case 12:

$\frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4}+\frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3}$
$\frac{8}{12}+\frac{3}{12}$

Add:
$\frac{8}{12}+\frac{3}{12} = \frac{11}{12}$
