Question:
Solve the following systems of equations:
$\frac{x}{7}+\frac{y}{3}=5$
$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{9}=6$
Solution:
The given equations are:
$\frac{x}{7}+\frac{y}{3}=5 \ldots$(i)
$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{9}=6 \ldots$(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by $\frac{1}{3}$ and add both equations we get
$\frac{x}{21}+\frac{y}{9}=\frac{5}{3}$
Put the value of $x$ in equation $(i)$ we get
$\frac{14}{7}+\frac{y}{3}=5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{3}=3$
$\Rightarrow y=9$
Hence the value of $x=14$ and $y=9$.
