Question:
Solve the given system of equations:
21/x + 47/y = 110
47/x + 21/y = 162 , x,y ≠ 0
Answer:
x = 1/3 , y = 1
Solution:
The given system of equation are :
21/x + 47/y = 110 -------(1)
47/x + 21/y = 162 -------(2)
Now,
Let 1/x = a and 1/y = b
Also,
Putting 1/x = a and 1/y = b in eq-(1) and eq-(2) ,
We have ;
21a + 47b = 110 ------(3)
47a + 21b = 162 ------(4)
Now,
Adding eq-(1) and eq-(2) , we get ;
=> 21a + 47b + 47a + 21b = 110 + 162
=> 68a + 68b = 272
=> 68(a + b) = 272
=> a + b = 272/68
=> a + b = 4 --------(5)
Now,
Subtracting eq-(1) from eq-(2) , we get ;
=> (47a + 21b) - (21a + 47b) = 162 - 110
=> 47a + 21b - 21a - 47b = 162 - 110
=> 26a - 26b = 52
=> 26(a-b) = 52
=> a - b = 52/26
=> a - b = 2 --------(6)
Now,
Adding eq-(5) and eq-(6) , we get ;
=> a + b + a - b = 4 + 2
=> 2a = 6
=> a = 6/2
=> a = 3
=> 1/x = 3
=> x = 1/3
Now,
Putting a = 3 , in eq-(5) , we get ;
=> a + b = 4
=> 3 + b = 4
=> b = 4 - 3
=> b = 1
=> 1/y = 1
=> y = 1
Hence,
The solution of the given system of equations is;
