If (10/x)-(4/y)=2 and (10/x)+(4/y)=0, what is the value of x+y?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You start with this system of equations
- = , (1)
+ = . (2)
Add the two equations. The terms with y will cancel, and you will get a single equation for x
= .
Hence, x = = .
Now distract the equation (1) from the equation (2). Then the terms with x will cancel, and you will get single equation for y.
Please complete it yourself. You are just in the straightforward way.
