now we know
y+3=0
x-2=0
therefor
y=-3
x=2

Answer:
Randy just added up the numbers on the numerator and denominator.
This is incorrect.
<u>Correct way of adding the fractions given below:</u>
- 7/8 + 9/15 = ⇒ Simplify the second equation, divide by 3)
- 7/8 + 3/5 =
- 5*7/5*8 + 8*3/8*5 = ⇒ Bring both fractions to common denominator of 40
- 35/40 + 24/40 = ⇒ Add up the numbers in the nominator
- 54/40 = ⇒ Simplify by dividing by 2
- 27/20 =
- 1 7/20 ⇒ Convert to mixed fraction
