could someone please explain to me how to do this!?!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+5) (y-2) = (x+2) (y-1) (x-4) (y+7) = (x-3) (y+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you want to do, solve them simultaneously?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m nbot able to undrstand the ques

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+5)(y-2)=(x+2)(y-1) first multiply this can u do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply (x+5)(y-2) first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+5(y-2)=xy-2x+5y-10 (x+2)(y-1)=xy-x+2y-2 now the given eqn was, (x+5)(y-2)=(x+2)(y-1) xy-2x+5y-10=xy-x+2y-2 xy gets cancelled on bith sides -2x+x+5y-2y=-2+10 -x+3y=8...........(1)
