<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
We have to find value of y
From eqn 1,
From eqn 2,
Subtract eqn 3 from eqn 4
2x + 3y = 24
2x + y = 16
( - ) -----------------
2y = 8
y = 4
Thus value of y is 4
The greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of the rational expression is x - 4
<h3>How to determine the greatest common factor?</h3>The fraction expression is given as:
Factorize the numerator and the denominator
Cancel out the common factor
The common factor that was canceled out is x - 4
Hence, the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of the rational expression is x - 4
