5/(x + y) - 2/(x - y) = -1 ------------eq1
15/(x + y) - 7/(x - y) = 10 ---------eq2
Let,
1/(x + y) = a
1/(x - y) = b
now the equations will look like :-
5a - 2b = -1 ---------eq2
15a + 7b = 10-------eq3
solve equations 2 and 3
make coefficient of equation 2 same by multiplying it by 3 and equation 3 by 1
5a - 2b = -1 ----- × 3
15a + 7b = 10 ----- × 1
15a - 6b = -3
15a + 7b = 10
- - -
----------------------
0 - 13b = -13
-13b = -13
b = 1
put this in eq 1 or 2 to find a
eq1
15a - 6b = -3
15a - 6b = -315a - 6(1) = -3
15a - 6b = -315a - 6(1) = -315a = 6 - 3
15a - 6b = -315a - 6(1) = -315a = 6 - 315a = 3
a = 1/5
Now,
1/(x + y) = 1/5 = x + y = 5-----eq4
1/(x - y) = 1 = x - y = 1 -------eq5
x + y = 5
x - y = 1
-------------
2x - 0 = 6
2x = 6
x = 3
put this in eq 4 or 5 to get y
x + y = 5
y = 5 - x
y = 5 - 3
y = 2
