प्रश्न

Solve the following systems of equations:

`1/(2x) + 1/(3y) = 2`

`1/(3x) + 1/(2y) = 13/6`

उत्तर

Let `1/x = u` and `1/y = v` the given equations become

`u/2 + v/3 = 2`

`=> (3u + 2v)/6 = 2`

=> 3u + 2v = 12 .....(i)

And `u/3 + v/2 = 13/6`

`=> (2u + 3v)/6 = 13/6`

`=> v = 6/2 = 3`

Hence  `x = 1/u = 1/2`  and `y = 1/v = 1/3`

So, the solution of the given system o equation is `x = 1/2, y = 1/3`

Complete the activity to find the value of x.

3x + 2y = 11   ...(i) and 2x + 3y = 4   ...(ii)

Solution:

Multiply equation (i) by ______ and equation (ii) by ______.

`square` × (3x + 2y = 11)    ∴ 9x + 6y = 33   ...(iii)

`square` × (2x + 3y = 4)      ∴ 4x + 6y = 8   ...(iv)

Subtract (iv) from (iii),

`square` x = 25

∴ x = `square`
