Question

IF X-Y=2 AND X+y=7 find x/y

Answer 1

Hey, here is your answer

x-y = 2
x = 2+y. -(1)

Eq 2
x+y = 7
2+y+y = 7
2y = 5
Y = 2.5

X= 2+y = 2+2.5 = 4.5

x/y = 4.5/2.5 = 9/5 answer

Hope this helps you ✌ ✌ ✌

Answer 2

Adding both the given equations we get-
(x-y) + (x+y) =7+2
2x=9
x=4.5
therefore, y=2.5 (because x+y=7)
therefore;
x/y= 4.5/2.5= 0.9/0.5= 9/5
