Question

Find the solution of the pair of equations:3/x+8/y=-1,1/x-2/y=2;xy not equal to 0

Answer 1

Answer:

x =1 , y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3/x  + 8/y  = -1

1/x  - 2/y  = 2

let say 1/x = m   &  1/y = n

3m + 8n = -1

m  - 2n = 2

3m - 6n = 6

14n = -7

n = -1/2

y = -2

m -2(-1/2) = 2

m = 1

x = 1
