Solve for x and y : ` (xy )/(x + y ) = ( 6)/(5), (xy)/( y - x) = 6 (x ne 0, y ne 0 and x ne y )`. |

Answer» The given equations may be written as ` (x + y )/( xy) = ( 5)/(6) rArr (1)/(y) + ( 1)/(x) = ( 5)/(6)" " `… (i) ` ( y - x )/( xy ) = (1)/(6) rArr (1)/(x) - (1)/(y) = (1)/(6) " " `… (ii) Adding (i) and (ii), we get ` (2)/(x) = (( 5)/(6) + (1)/(6)) = (6)/(6) = 1 rArr x = 2 ` Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get `(2)/(y)= ((5)/(6) - (1)/(6)) = ( 4)/(6) = (2)/(3) rArr y = 3 ` Hence, ` x = 2 and y = 3 `. |
