Question

3/x +5/y=24 and 3/x +5/y =16 then 1/x +1/y = ?


I will mark the correct answer as brainliest nd don't answer if u don't know other wise u will be reported ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The given equations are 

3x−5y=−16           (1)

2x+5y=31           (2)

Note that the coefficients of y in both equations are numerically equal. So, we can eliminate y easily. 

Adding (1) and (2), we obtain an equation

5x=15

That is, x=3      (3)

Now, we substitute x = 3 in (1) or (2) to solve for y.   

Substituting x = 3 in (1) we obtain, 3(3)−5y=−16

→y=5

Now, (3, 5) a is solution to the given system because (1) and (2) are true when x = 3   and y = 5  as from (1) and (2) we get,  3(3)−5(5)=−16 and 2(3)+5(5)=31.
