We can let
a = 1/(x-1)
b = 1/(y+2)
and rewrite the equations as
2a - b = 10
a + 3b = -9
Using the first to write an expression for b, we get
b = 2a - 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives
a + 3(2a -10) = -9
7a -30 = -9 . . . . . . . . simplify
7a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . .add 30
a = 3
b = 2·3 - 10 = -4
Now, we can find x and y.
3 = 1/(x -1)
x - 1 = 1/3
x = 1 1/3 = 4/3
-4 = 1/(y +2)
y +2 = -1/4
y = -2 1/4 = -9/4
Then the desired sum is
x + y = 4/3 -9/4 = (16 -27)/12
x + y = -11/12
The appropriate choice is ..
c. -11/12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 5x - 7 = 5x becomes -7 = 0 if 5x is subtracted from both sides. This result is never true, so NO SOLUTION
B)3x−9=3(x−3) Performing the indicated multiplication, we get
3x - 9 = 3x - 9. This is always true, so there are INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS
C)2x−6=−2(x−3) Performing the indicated multiplication, we get
2x - 6 = -2x + 6. Adding 2x - 6 to both sides results in
4x - 12 = 0, or 4x = 12. Thus, the solution is x = 3. ONE SOLUTION
D)2x+6−5x=−3(x This equation is incomplete
