Question

could anyone help me with this?!

Answer 1

ANSWER:

xy = $\frac{-1}{16}$

x+y = $\frac{3}{8}$

EXPLANATION:

x = $\frac{1}{2}$

y = $\frac{-1}{8}$

xy = $\frac{1}{2} * -\frac{1}{8}$

   = $\frac{-1}{16}$

x+y = $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{-1}{8}$

LCM = 8, $\frac{4}{8} + \frac{-1}{8}$

= $\frac{3}{8}$
