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:
379.94 mi²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle can be figured out with this formula: πr² (3.14 is π here, as it says in the directions).
We know the diameter is 22 miles. Divide that by 2 to get a radius of 11 miles.
The equation now becomes
3.14(11²)
11 squared is 121.
3.14(121)
I recommend splitting the 121 into 100, 20, and 1.
(3.14 * 100) + (3.14 * 20) + (3.14 * 1)
Multiply 3.14 by 100, 20, and 1.
314 + 62.8 + 3.14
Add 314 and 62.8.
376.8 + 3.14
Add 376.8 and 3.14
379.94 mi² is the area of a circle with a 22-mile diameter.
300,022,000.
Don't quote me on that, I'm really not all that good at math.
