An operation is defined as follows: For what values of x and y is x, y = 6? xy=(x+y) /y |
| Answer» 6 x-y=2, what is the value of x and y?We have to SOLVE both the EQUATION simultaneously.x+y=6. Equation Ix-y=2. Equation IIBy adding EQ. I &II, we getx+y=6x-y=2________2x+0=8Now 2x=8Therefore x=8÷2Therefore x=4Now substitute x= 4 in any of the equationLet's put x=4 in equation I, we GET,x+y=6Therefore 4+y=6Therefore y=6–4Therefore y= 2Answer x=4 & y=2 is the answer of the given equation.Just check the proofx+y=64+2=6Andx-y=24–2=2 | |
