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
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular n-sided polygon has n axes of symmetry. The angle between two consecutive axes is 360° / n.
In the case of an octagon, the angle is 360° / 8 = 45°.

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are 6 and 2x, then:
- 1/6 + 1/(2x) = 7/24
- 1/3 + 1/x = 7/12
- (x+3)/(3x) = 7/12
- 12(x+3) = 7*3x
- 12x + 36 = 21x
- 21x - 12x = 36
- 9x = 36
- x = 4
The other number is 2*4 = 8
120.
You can use the ! function to find this. 5! = 120
