Question

If x-y=2 and 2/x+y=1/5 then find the value of x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The values of x and y are 2.25 and 0.25 resp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$x-y=2\\\\\dfrac{2}{x+y}=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\x+y=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5$

So, from both the equations, we get that

$x-y=2\\\\x+y=2.5\\\\-------------------\\\\2x=4.5\\\\x=\dfrac{4.5}{2}\\\\x=2.25$

So, the value of y would be

$x-y=2\\\\2.25-y=2\\\\-y=2-2.25\\\\-y=-0.25\\\\y=0.25$

Hence, the values of x and y are 2.25 and 0.25 resp.
