Question

Solve for x and y
X+1/2 + y-1/3 = y-2
X-1/2 + y+1/4 = x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-13/6, y is every number

x is every number, y=-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First equation

Tip : multiply 6 on both sides.

$6x+3 + 6y-2 = 6y-12$

$6x=-13$

∴$x=-\frac{13}{6}$

Substitute the value of $x$.

$-13+3+6y-2=6y-12$

$0*y=0$

∴$y$ is every number

Second equation

Tip : multiply 4 on both sides.

$4x-2+4y+1=4x-4$

$4y=-3$

∴$y=-\frac{3}{4}$

Substitute the value of $y$.

$4x-2-3+1=4x-4$

$0*x=0$

∴$x$ is every number
