Question

Solve the following systems of equations:
5/(x + 1) – 2/(y – 1) = 1/2
10/(x + 1) + 2/(y – 1) = 5/2
where x ≠ –1, y ≠ 1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. take 1/x+1 as p and 1/y_1 as q
2. now get eqns as 5p_as=1/2 and10p+2q=5/2
3. solve to get p and q
4. now use the expression 1/x+1=p and 1/y_1=q to find x and y
