The expression is .
The point is \ \
(Substitute 2 for x and 4 for y)
(Cancel common terms) \ \
Multiples of 1: 1,2,3,4....
\Multiples of 2: 2,4,6,8....
\The least common multiple of 1 and 2 is 2, the LCD is 2.
\Rewrite each fraction using the least common denominator (LCD).
\ and
\ \
Rewrite the difference using the LCD.
\
(Add:
) \ \
So the point is a not solution of
.
