Question

Solve for x and y: x/a + y/b = 2 and bx - ay = 0
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=a and further a(b-y)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

• From the equation x/a + y/b = 2, we know that a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0

$ab(\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} )=2ab$

Expanded form $bx+ay=2ab$ ... (1)

And $bx-ay=0$ ... (2)

By using elimination method

(1) + (2)

$2bx=2ab$

∴ $x=a$ ( ∵ $b\neq 0$ )

(1) - (2)

$2ay=2ab$

∴ $y=b$ ( ∵ $a\neq 0$ )
