Help me with this pls

Answer 1

x=2 y=17

Explanation:

53/17 17x3 = 51 53-51 3 + 1/ x + 1/y

Answer 2

`x+y = 10`

Explanation:

`~~~(53)/(17)\\\\\\=3 (2)/(17)\\\\\\=3+ (2)/(17)\\\\\\=3+\frac{1}{\tfrac{17}2}\\\\\\=3+(1)/(8\tfrac 12 )\\\\\\=3+ (1)/(8+ \frac 12 )\\\\\\\text{By comparing with}~ 3 + \frac 1{x + \tfrac 1y},~ \text{we get}~ x = 8~ \text{and}~ y = 2.\\\\\text{Hence,}~ x +y = 8+2 =10.`
