Question

Solve      2/(x-1) + 3/(y+5) = 11/2
               -1/(x-1) + 2/(y+5)= -1

anonymous · Answer

It's a system. How do you solve it.

callisto · Answer

2/(x-1) + 3/(y+5) = 11/2    -(1)
-1/(x-1) + 2/(y+5)= -1       -(2)

Try (2)x2 + (1), see what you will get..

anonymous · Answer

Seiga I feel like that is wrong.

anonymous · Answer

Callisto your sentence is unclear. Is that an x^2

anonymous · Answer

callisto · Answer

I meant multiply the second equation by 2, the add it to the first equation.

anonymous · Answer

No that method would yield values like xy and such and that is too complex for this remedial  math class my friend is in.

anonymous · Answer

I could try bringing the denominator up.

anonymous · Answer

Or merging the two.
