Step-by-step explanation:
Given -
2/x + 3/y = 2
1/x - 1/2y = 1/3
To Find -
Value of x and y
By Elimination method :-
Now,
[ 2/x + 3/y = 2 ] × 1
[ 1/x - 1/2y = 1/3 ] × 2
» 2/x + 3/y = 2
2/x - 1/y = 2/3
(-) (+) (-)
______________
3/y + 1/y = 2 - 2/3 (By Subtracting)
» 3 + 1/y = 6 - 2/3
» 4/y = 4/3
- » y = 3
Substituting the value of y on 2/x + 3/y = 2
» 2/x + 3/3 = 2/3
» 6 + 3x/3x = 2
» 6 + 3x = 6x
» 6 = 6x - 3x
» 6 = 3x
» x = 6/3
- » x = 2
Hence,
The value of x is 2 and y is 3
Verification :-
- 2/x + 3/y = 2
» 2/2 + 3/3 = 2
» 1 + 1 = 2
» 2 = 2
LHS = RHS
And
- 1/x - 1/2y = 1/3
» 1/2 - 1/6 = 1/3
» 3 - 1/6 = 1/3
» 2/6 = 1/3
» 1/3 = 1/3
LHS = RHS
Hence,
Verified..
x = 2
y = 3
- 2/x + 3/y = 2
- 1/x - 1/y = 1/3
- Value of x and y.
2/x + 3/y = 2___(1)
1/x - 1/y = 1/3__(2)
[2/x + 3/y = 2] × 1
[1/x - 1/y = 1/3] × 2
2/x + 3/y = 2
2/x - 1/y = 2/3
____________________
4/y = 4/3
y = 3
2/x + 3/y = 2
6 + 3x/3x = 2
6 + 3x = 6x
6 = 6x - 3x
6 = 3x
x = 6/3
x = 2
