Question

If (x/3+1,y-2/3)is equal to (5/3,1/2) find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

The value of x is 2.

The value of y is
`(7)/(6)`

Explanation:

x:

We have that:

`(x)/(3) + 1 = (5)/(3)`

Multiplying everything by 3

`x + 3 = 5`

`x = 2`

The value of x is 2.

y:

We have that:

`y - (2)/(3) = (1)/(2)`

Least common multiple between 3 and 2 is 6, which means that we multiply everything by 6.

`6y - 4 = 3`

`6y = 7`

`y = (7)/(6)`

The value of y is
`(7)/(6)`
