Answer: X = -1 and Y = 3
—————————————
X + Y = 2
X = 2 - Y
————————
Y = x + 4
Y = 2 - Y + 4
2Y = 2 + 4
2Y = 6
Y = 3
————————
X + Y = 2
X + 3 = 2
X = -1

You multiply straight across, and one number is a fraction and the other is not.
Answer:
2 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
−512−−93=?
Since the the second fraction is negative and you are subtracting, remove the negative sign and switch the operation to addition.
The equivalent equation is
−512+93=?
The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(-5/12, 9/3) = 12
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(−5/12×1/1)+(9/3×4/4)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
−5/12+36/12=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.
Then:
−5+36/12=31/12
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
31/12
is the same as
31÷12
Convert to a mixed number using
long division for 31 ÷ 12 = 2R7, so
31/12=2 7/12
Therefore:
−5/12−−9/3=2 7/12
