It looks like you've uploaded an image of a math worksheet titled "Problem Solving", which contains several algebraic problems. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to describe the content or transcribe the problems from the image so I can help solve them.

However, based on what’s visible in your message (which appears to be a transcription of part of the image), here's what I can see:

---

Problem 1:

Solve the system of equations:
\[
(2x + 3y) + (4x - y) = 5(x + y)
\]
\[
(6x - 3y) + (3x + 5y) = 9(x + y)
\]

Let me solve this step by step.

---

#### Step 1: Simplify both equations

Equation 1:
\[
(2x + 3y) + (4x - y) = 5(x + y)
\]
Left side:
\[
2x + 3y + 4x - y = 6x + 2y
\]
Right side:
\[
5x + 5y
\]
So:
\[
6x + 2y = 5x + 5y
\]
Subtract \(5x + 5y\) from both sides:
\[
6x + 2y - 5x - 5y = 0 \Rightarrow x - 3y = 0 \quad \text{(Equation A)}
\]

Equation 2:
\[
(6x - 3y) + (3x + 5y) = 9(x + y)
\]
Left side:
\[
6x - 3y + 3x + 5y = 9x + 2y
\]
Right side:
\[
9x + 9y
\]
So:
\[
9x + 2y = 9x + 9y
\]
Subtract \(9x\) from both sides:
\[
2y = 9y \Rightarrow -7y = 0 \Rightarrow y = 0
\]

Now substitute \(y = 0\) into Equation A:
\[
x - 3(0) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0
\]

✔ Solution: \(x = 0\), \(y = 0\)

---

Problem 2:

Simplify and solve:
\[
\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} = \frac{a + b}{ab}
\]
This is a known identity. So:
\[
\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} = \frac{a + b}{ab}
\]
This is always true for \(a \neq 0\), \(b \neq 0\).

But if it's asking to solve for something specific, please clarify.

---

Problem 3:

Solve:
\[
\frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{x-1} = \frac{2}{x^2 - 1}
\]

Note: \(x^2 - 1 = (x+1)(x-1)\)

So left side:
\[
\frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{x-1} = \frac{(x-1) + (x+1)}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{2x}{x^2 - 1}
\]

Set equal to right side:
\[
\frac{2x}{x^2 - 1} = \frac{2}{x^2 - 1}
\]

Multiply both sides by \(x^2 - 1\) (assuming \(x \neq \pm1\)):
\[
2x = 2 \Rightarrow x = 1
\]

But \(x = 1\) makes denominator zero → undefined.

So no solution.

✘ No solution (extraneous root)

---

Problem 4:

Given:
\[
\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{x}{c} + \frac{y}{d} = 1
\]
Solve for \(x\) and \(y\).

This is a system of linear equations. Let's write it as:

\[
\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1 \quad \text{(1)}
\]
\[
\frac{x}{c} + \frac{y}{d} = 1 \quad \text{(2)}
\]

Multiply equation (1) by \(ab\):
\[
bx + ay = ab \quad \text{(1')}
\]

Multiply equation (2) by \(cd\):
\[
dx + cy = cd \quad \text{(2')}
\]

Now solve using elimination or substitution.

Let’s use elimination.

Multiply (1') by \(c\):
\(bcx + acy = abc\)

Multiply (2') by \(a\):
\(adx + acy = acd\)

Subtract:
\[
(bc - ad)x = abc - acd = ac(b - d)
\]
So:
\[
x = \frac{ac(b - d)}{bc - ad}
\]

Similarly, we can solve for \(y\).

But unless values are given, this is the general solution.

---

Problem 5:

Solve:
\[
\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{z}
\]

This is not solvable without more info. But perhaps it's asking for a relationship?

We can write:
\[
\frac{x + y}{xy} = \frac{1}{z} \Rightarrow z = \frac{xy}{x + y}
\]

So \(z\) is the harmonic mean of \(x\) and \(y\), scaled.

---

Problem 6:

Solve:
\[
\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x+1} = \frac{2}{x+2}
\]

Find common denominator on left:
\[
\frac{(x+1) + x}{x(x+1)} = \frac{2x + 1}{x(x+1)}
\]

Set equal:
\[
\frac{2x + 1}{x(x+1)} = \frac{2}{x+2}
\]

Cross-multiply:
\[
(2x + 1)(x + 2) = 2x(x + 1)
\]

Left:
\[
2x(x) + 2x(2) + 1(x) + 1(2) = 2x^2 + 4x + x + 2 = 2x^2 + 5x + 2
\]

Right:
\[
2x^2 + 2x
\]

Set equal:
\[
2x^2 + 5x + 2 = 2x^2 + 2x
\]
Subtract \(2x^2\) from both sides:
\[
5x + 2 = 2x \Rightarrow 3x = -2 \Rightarrow x = -\frac{2}{3}
\]

Check if any denominator is zero:
- \(x = -2/3\), so \(x \neq 0, -1, -2\) → valid.

✔ Solution: \(x = -\frac{2}{3}\)

---

Summary of Solutions:

1. \(x = 0\), \(y = 0\)
2. Identity: \(\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} = \frac{a+b}{ab}\)
3. No solution (undefined at \(x=1\))
4. General solution: \(x = \frac{ac(b - d)}{bc - ad}\), etc.
5. \(z = \frac{xy}{x+y}\)
6. \(x = -\frac{2}{3}\)

If you can provide the full list of problems or clarify which one you'd like solved in detail, I can give a more focused explanation.
