Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
divide both equations by xy
8x-3y=5xy/xy and 6x-5y=-2xy/xy
we have 8/y-3/x=5 and 6/y-5/x=-2
8(1/y)-3(1/x)=5 and 6(1/y)-5(1/x)=-2
let 1/y=m and 1/x=n
8m-3n=5 and 6m-5n=-2
(8m-3n=5)*5 and (6m-5n=-2)*-3
40m-15n=25 and -18m+15n=6
adding both equations
40m-15n=25
-18m+15n=6
we have ,22m=31
m=31/22
putting value of m in 6m-5n=-2
6*(31/22)-5n=-2
n=23/11
m=1/y and n=1/x
y=22/31 and x=11/23
