Question

Solve the following pair of linear equations
1/2x-1/y= -1
1/x+1/2y= 8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x-1/y=-1 ----(1)

1/x+1/2y=8 ---(2)

Multiply 2 in (1)

1/x-2/y=-2

subtract it from (2)

1/x+1/2y=8

-(1/x-2/y=-2

=> 1/2y+2/y= 10

=> y= 1/4

by putting value of y in (1) we can get x,

now by puting value of y in (1) we get

x=1/6
