Question

xy/x+y=6/5
xy/y-x=6,
where x + y = 0 and y - x + 0.
Find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Xy/(x + y) = 6/5

⇒ (x + y)/xy = 5/6 [ take reverse ]

⇒ x/xy + y/xy = 5/6

⇒ 1/y + 1/x = 5/6 --------(1)

again, xy/(y - x) = 6

⇒(y - x)/xy = 1/6 [ take reverse ]

⇒y/xy - x/xy = 1/6

⇒ 1/x - 1/y = 1/6 -------(2)

add equations (1) and (2) ,

(1/y + 1/x ) + (1/x - 1/y) = 5/6 + 1/6

⇒ 2/x = (5 +1)/6

⇒ 2/x = 1 ⇒ x = 2 , put it in equation (1)

1/y + 1/2 = 5/6

⇒1/y = 5/6 - 1/2 = (5 - 3)/6 = 1/3

⇒ y = 3

Hence, answer is x = 2 and y = 3
