Ex 3.6, 1 Solve the following pairs of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations: (i) 1/2š‘„ + 1/3š‘¦ = 2 1/3š‘„ + 1/2š‘¦ = 13/6 1/2š‘„ + 1/3š‘¦ = 2 1/3š‘„ + 1/2š‘¦ = 13/6 Let 1/š‘„ = u 1/š‘¦ = v So, our equations become 1/2 u + 1/3 v = 2 (3š‘¢ + 2š‘£)/(2 Ɨ 3) = 2 3u + 2v = 12 1/3 u + 1/2 v = 13/6 (2š‘¢ +3š‘£)/(2 Ɨ 3) = 13/6 2u + 3v = 13 Our equations are 3u + 2v = 12 …(3) 2u + 3v = 13 …(4) From (3) 3u + 2v = 12 3u = 12 – 2v u = (12 āˆ’ 2š‘£)/3 Putting value of u in (4) 2u + 3v = 13 2 ((12 āˆ’2š‘£)/3) + 3v = 13 Multiplying both sides by 3 3 Ɨ 2((12 āˆ’ 2š‘£)/3) + 3 Ɨ 3v = 3 Ɨ 13 2(12 – 2v) + 9v = 39 24 – 4v + 9v = 39 – 4v + 9v = 39 – 24 5v = 15 v = 15/5 v = 3 Putting v = 3 in (3) 3u + 2v = 12 3u + 2(3) = 12 3u + 6 = 12 3u = 12 – 6 3u = 6 u = 6/3 u = 2 Hence, v = 3, u = 2 But we have to find x & y We know that u = šŸ/š’™ 2 = 1/š‘„ x = šŸ/šŸ v = šŸ/š’š 3 = 1/š‘¦ y = šŸ/šŸ‘ So, x = šŸ/šŸ , y = šŸ/šŸ‘ is the solution of the given equation Question 1 Solve the following pairs of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations: (ii) 2/āˆšš‘„ + 3/āˆšš‘¦ = 2 4/āˆšš‘„ āˆ’ 9/āˆšš‘¦ = –1 2/āˆšš‘„ + 3/āˆšš‘¦ = 2 4/āˆšš‘„ āˆ’ 9/āˆšš‘¦ = āˆ’1 So, our equations become 2u + 3v = 2 4u – 9v = –1 Our equations 2u + 3v = 2 …(3) 4u – 9v = –1 …(4) From (3) 2u + 3v = 2 2u = 2 – 3v u = (2 āˆ’ 3š‘£)/2 Putting value of u in (4) 4u – 9v = – 1 4 ((2 āˆ’ 3š‘£)/2) – 9v = –1 2(2 – 3v) – 9v = –1 4 – 6v – 9v = –1 – 6v – 9v = –1 – 4 –15v = – 5 v = (āˆ’5)/(āˆ’15) v = šŸ/šŸ‘ Putting v = 1/3 in (3) 2u + 3v = 2 2u + 3 (1/3) = 2 2u + 1 = 2 2u = 2 – 1 u = šŸ/šŸ Hence, u = 1/2 & v = 1/3 But, we need to find x & y u = šŸ/āˆšš’™ 1/2 = 1/āˆšš‘„ āˆšš‘„ = 2 Squaring both sides (āˆšš‘„)2 = (2)2 x = 4 v = šŸ/āˆšš’š 1/3 = 1/āˆšš‘¦ āˆšš‘¦ = 3 Squaring both sides (āˆšš‘¦)2 = (3)2 y = 9 Therefore, x = 4, y = 9 is the solution of the given equation
