Question

solve for x and y
$\sqrt{2x} - \sqrt{3y} = 0 \\ \sqrt{5x} + \sqrt{2y} = 0$
​

Answer 1

Given pair of linear equations is

√2 x – √3 y = 0 …(i)

And √5 x + √2 y = 0 …(ii)

On multiplying Eq. (i) by √2 and Eq. (ii) by √3 to make the coefficients of y equal, we get the equation as :

2x – √6 y = 0 …(iii)

√15 x + √6 y = 0 …(iv)

On adding Eq. (iii) and (iv), we get

2x – √6 y + √15 x + √6 y = 0

⇒ 2x + √15 x = 0

⇒ x(2 + √15) = 0

⇒ x = 0

On putting x = 0 in Eq. (i), we get

√2 x – √3 y = 0

⇒ √2(0) – √3 y = 0

⇒ – √3 y = 0

⇒ y = 0

Hence, x = 0 and y = 0 , which is the required solution.
