Question

i challenge u to solve this question. .Solve the following simultaneous equations. ax+by=5 and bx+ay=3. where a and b are constant.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ax + by = 5...(i)

bx + ay = 3...(ii)

Multiply (i) by a and (ii) by b and subtract

a

2

x+aby−b

2

x−aby=5a−3b

(a

2

−b

2

)x=5a−3b

x=

a

2

−b

2

5a−3b

Similarly,

Multiply (i) by b and (ii) by a and subtract

abx+b

2

y−abx−a

2

y=5b−3a

(b

2

−a

2

)y=5b−3a

y=

b
