Question

Solve the System :
1/x - 3/y = -3
2/x - 1/y = 4

Answer 1

So isolate x for 1/x-3/y = -3 and you'll get x=-y/(3y-3)
Next, substitute x=-y/(3y-3) into your equation to get your "y" value.
So you'll get y=1/2
Finally, plug in y=1/2 into your original equation to your "x" and you'll get
x=1/3 and y=1/2 as your final answer

Answer 7

So this basic method is called substitution. Here's how it works: you pretty much find a variable and you take it all by itself. For example if you have x+2=4y... you'll take "x" all by itself so x=4y-2 .... then when you separated one variable from the entire equation you'll plug it back to the formula to find your other variable.
