Solve: `a x+b y=a-b , b x-a y=a+b`

Answer» The given equations may be written as
` a x + by = a - b " " `… (i)
` bx - ay = a + b " " `… (ii)
Multiplying (i) by a and (ii) by b and adding the results, we get
`(a ^(2) + b ^(2)) x = (a ^(2) + b ^(2)) rArr x = 1 `
Putting ` x = 1 ` in (i) , we get
` ( a xx 1 ) + by = a- b `
` rArr a + by = a - b `
` rArr by = - b rArr y = (-b)/(b) = - 1 `
Hence, ` x = 1 and y = - 1`.
