Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 13

3x + y = 2 (you can multiply this equation by -4 in order to eliminate the y-term)

-4(3x + y = 2) = -12x - 4y = -8

+ <u>2x + 4y = 13</u>

-10x = 5

x = -5/10 or -1/2

x(-1/2) + 4y = 13

-1 + 4y = 13

4y = 14

y = 14/4 or 7/2 or 3 1/2

Answer:

$\dfrac{40}{42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator of the fraction=x

Since the denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator.

Denominator=x+2

The fraction is therefore:

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}$

If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the fraction becomes:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}$

The simplified result is $\dfrac{17}{18}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}=\dfrac{17}{18}\\$Next, we solve for x\\Cross multiply\\18(x-6)=17(x+2-6)\\18(x-6)=17(x-4)\\Expand the bracket\\18x-108=17x-68\\Collect like terms\\18x-17x=-68+108\\x=40$

Substituting x=40 into the initial fraction

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}=\dfrac{40}{40+2}=\dfrac{40}{42}$

Therefore, the original fraction is $\dfrac{40}{42}$
