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:
6/8 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the denominator is the same, just add all the numerators, 1+2=3, then 3+3=6. So 6/8 or when simplified, 3/4.
Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -4/3
(0,-12)....x1 = 0 and y1 = -12
sub
y - (-12) = -4/3(x - 0) =
y + 12 = -4/3(x - 0) <=== point slope form
y + 12 = -4/3x
y = -4/3x - 12 <=== slope intercept form
y = -4/3x - 12
4/3x + y = -12
4x + 3y = -36 <=== standard form
