Question

2/(x-y) + 3/(x-y) =1

x+y=2

Solve for X and Y

Answer 1

5/(x-y) =1

cross multiply.

5 = x-y
=================================

Lets solve for x:
x = 5 +y

Lets solve for y:
y = 5 -x

Answer 2

So 2+3=x-y?

Answer 3

isnt that what you did

Answer 4

Oh Right!

Answer 5

from the first eqn
x=5+y
put it in the second eqn
5+y+y=2
2y=-3
y=-3/2

put y=-3/2 into the second eqn
x-3/2=2
2x-3=4
2x=7
x=7/2


x=7/2
y=-3/2

Answer 6

how are you getting x=5+y?

Answer 7

I took the LCM.
