Question 1 Solve the following pairs of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations: (iii) 4/š„ + 3y = 14 3/š„ ā 4y = 23 4/š„ + 3y = 14 3/š„ ā 4y = 23 So, our equations become 4u + 3y = 14 3u ā 4y = 23 Now, our equations are 4u + 3y = 14 ā¦(3) 3u ā 4y = 23 ā¦(4) From (3) 4u + 3y = 14 4u = 14 ā 3y u = (14 ā3š¦)/4 Putting value of u in (4) 3u ā 4y = 23 3 ((14 ā 3š¦)/4) ā 4y = 23 Multiplying both sides by 4 4 Ć 3 ((14 ā 3š¦)/4) ā 4 Ć 4y = 4 Ć 23 3(14 ā 3y) ā 16y = 92 42 ā 9y ā 16y = 92 ā 9y ā 16y = 92 ā 42 ā25y = 50 y = 50/(ā25) y = ā 2 Putting y = ā 2 in equation (3) 4u + 3y = 14 4u + 3(ā2) = 14 4u ā 6 = 14 4u = 14 + 6 u = 20/4 u = 5 But u = 1/š„ 5 = 1/š„ x = š/š Hence, x = š/š, y = ā2 is the solution of the given equation Question 1 Solve the following pairs of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations: (iv) 5/(š„ ā 1) + 1/(š¦ ā 2) = 2 6/(š„ ā 1) ā 3/(š¦ ā 2) = 1 5/(š„ ā 1) + 1/(š¦ ā 2) = 2 6/(š„ ā 1) ā 3/(š¦ ā 2) = 1 So, our equations become 5u + v = 2 6u ā 3v = 1 Our equations are 5u + v = 2 ā¦(3) 6u ā 3v = 1 ā¦(4) From (3) 5u + v = 2 v = 2 ā 5u Putting value of v in (4) 6u ā 3v = 1 6u ā 3(2 ā 5u) = 1 6u ā 6 + 15u = 1 6u + 15u = 1 + 6 21u = 7 u = 7/21 u = š/š Putting u = 1/3 in (3) 5u + v = 2 5 (1/3) + v = 2 5/3 + v = 2 v = 2 ā 5/3 v = (2(3) ā 5)/3 v = š/š Hence, u = 1/3 & v = 1/3 We need to find x & y We know that u = š/(š ā š) 1/3 = 1/(š„ ā 1) x ā 1 = 3 x = 3 + 1 x = 4 v = š/(š ā š) 1/3 = 1/(š¦ ā2) y ā 2 = 3 y = 3 + 2 y = 5 So, x = 4, y = 5 is the solution of our equations
