Question:
Solve the following systems of equations:
$\frac{4}{x}+3 y=14$
$\frac{3}{x}-4 y=23$
Solution:
The given equations are:
$\frac{4}{x}+3 y=14 \ldots$(i)
$\frac{3}{x}-4 y=23 \ldots(i i)$
Multiply equation $(i)$ by 4 and equation $(i i)$ by 3, add both equations, we get
$\frac{16}{x}+12 y=56$
Put the value of $x$ in equation $(i)$, we get
$\frac{4}{\frac{1}{5}}+3 y=14$
$\Rightarrow 3 y=-6$
$\Rightarrow y=-2$
Hence the value of $x=\frac{1}{5}$ and $y=-2$.
