(x + y + 2) ÷ 2 = (x + y ÷ 4) = 2, x + y + 1 = 3
Solution:
x = 2, y = 0
If you meant (x+y+2)/2 = (x+y)/4 = 2x+y+1 = 3,
the parentheses were REQUIRED.
However, you have written three equations in two unknowns,
and there is no combo of x and y that will work for all three.
Maybe you should have omitted the equals sign just after the 4 ?
In that case, I would agree with Cidyah's answer, x = 6 and y = -10.
(x+y+2)/2 = (x+y)/4
2(x+y+2)/4 = (x+y)/4
2(x+y+2) = x+y
2x+2y+4 = x+y
x+y = -4 ------(1)
2x+y+1=3
2x+y = 2 ------(2)
subtract (2) from (1)
-x = -6
x= 6
x+y=-4
6+y=-4
y=-10
x=6
x + y + 2/2 = 3
2x + y + 1 = 3
Solve the system of equations.
x + y + 1 = 3
x + y = 2
x = 2 - y
2(2 - y) + y + 1 = 3
4 - 2y + y + 1 = 3
-y + 5 = 3
-y = -2
y = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0
See is x and y work for the third equation.
x + y/4 = 3
0 + 2/4 = 3
1/2 = 3 is false
The system of three equations has no solution.
