Question

1/3a -1/b = 1 ; 1/a - 1/3b = 17/3
solve the following simultaneous equation​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3a - 1/b = 1

b - 3a = 3ab - (1)

1/a - 1/3b = 17/3

3b - a = 17×3ba / 3

3(3b-a) = 51ab

9b-3a = 51ab - (2)

eq (1)+(2)

b-3a+9b-3a = 3ab+51ab

10b-6a = 54ab

10b = 54ab+6a

10b = 6a(9b+1)
