Example 17 - Chapter 3 Class 10 Pair of Linear Equations in 2 Variables - NCERT Solutions Solve the pair of equations: 2/x + 3/y = 13 5/x - 4/y = -2 2/𝑥+ 3/𝑦=13 5/𝑥−4/𝑦=−2 Let 1/x = u 1/y = v Hence, our equations are 2u + 3v = 13 …(3) 5u – 4v = – 2 …(4) From (3) 2u + 3v = 13 2u = 13 – 3V u = (13 − 3𝑣)/2 Putting value of u (4) 5u – 4v = - 2 5((13−3𝑣)/2)−4𝑣=−2 Multiplying 2 both sides 2 × 5((13−3𝑣)/2)−"2 ×" 4𝑣="2 ×"−2 5(13 – 3v) – 8v = –4 65 – 15v – 8v = –4 – 15v – 8v = – 4 – 65 – 23v = – 69 v = (−69)/(−23) v = 3 Putting v = 3 in (3) 2u + 3v = 13 2u + 3(3) = 13 2u + 9 = 13 2u = 13 – 9 2u = 4 u = 4/2 u = 2 Hence, u = 2, v = 3 is the solution But we have to find x & y we know that u = 1/𝑥 2 = 1/𝑥 x = 1/2 Hence, x = 1/2 , y = 1/3 is the solution of the given equation
