Question

Find the value of X and Y if:

2/(x-1) + 5/(y-2) = 1

Answer 1

x=5, y=12

Answer 2

I just went with 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 and solved the two portions for x and y separately for 1/2

Answer 3

x = -7, y = 6
x = -2, y = 5
x = 2, y = -3
x = 4, y = 17
x = 5, y = 12

Answer 4

So the lowest common denominator would be? .0

Answer 5

for x=5 and y=12 the LCD of the two fractions 2/4 and 5/10 is 20

Answer 6

but if you simplify first the LCD of 1/2 and 1/2 is 2
