5/x + 6y = 13 ;3/x + 4y = 7 please solve this
Answers
Answer:
x = 1/5
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let 1/x = a
5a+6y=13. ...(i)
3a+4y = 7. ... (ii)
we see that LCM of 5 and 3 is 15
for making 5a to 15a, multiply by 3 in (i)
for making 3a to 15a, multiply by 5 in (ii)
(5a+6y=13)*3. ... (iii)
(3a +4y=7)*5. ...(iv)
15a+18y=39. ...(iii)
15a+20y=35. ....(iv)
Subtract (iii) from (iv)
15a+20y=35 - (15a+18y=39)
15a+20y=35 - 15a-18y-39
2y= -4
y= -2
putting value of y in (ii)
3a +4y=7
3a -8 =7
3a = 15
a = 5
we have assumed a = 1/x
1/x = 5
x=1/5
