Question:
Solve the following systems of equations:
$\frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{y}}=2$
$\frac{4}{\sqrt{x}}-\frac{9}{\sqrt{y}}=-1$
Solution:
The given equations are:
$\frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{y}}=2$
$\frac{4}{\sqrt{x}}-\frac{9}{\sqrt{y}}=-1$
Multiply equation $(i)$ by 3 and add both equations we get
$\frac{6}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{9}{\sqrt{y}}=6$
Put the value of $x$ in equation $(i)$, we get
$\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{y}}=2$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{y}=3$
$\Rightarrow y=9$
Hence the value of $x=4$ and $y=9$
