The correct Answer is:
To solve the given pair of equations using the method of elimination by equating coefficients, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations in standard form The given equations are: 1. \(\frac{5y}{2} - \frac{x}{3} = 8\) 2. \(\frac{y}{2} + \frac{5x}{3} = 12\) To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply each equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. The LCM of 2 and 3 is 6. **Equation 1:** Multiply by 6: \[ 6 \left(\frac{5y}{2}\right) - 6 \left(\frac{x}{3}\right) = 6 \cdot 8 \] This simplifies to: \[ 15y - 2x = 48 \quad \text{(Equation 1')} \] **Equation 2:** Multiply by 6: \[ 6 \left(\frac{y}{2}\right) + 6 \left(\frac{5x}{3}\right) = 6 \cdot 12 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3y + 10x = 72 \quad \text{(Equation 2')} \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equations Now we have: 1. \(15y - 2x = 48\) (Equation 1') 2. \(3y + 10x = 72\) (Equation 2') ### Step 3: Eliminate one variable To eliminate \(x\), we can manipulate the equations. We will multiply Equation 1' by 5 to match the coefficient of \(x\) in Equation 2'. Multiply Equation 1' by 5: \[ 5(15y - 2x) = 5(48) \] This gives: \[ 75y - 10x = 240 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] Now we have: 1. \(75y - 10x = 240\) (Equation 3) 2. \(3y + 10x = 72\) (Equation 2') ### Step 4: Add the equations Now, add Equation 3 and Equation 2': \[ (75y - 10x) + (3y + 10x) = 240 + 72 \] This simplifies to: \[ 78y = 312 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(y\) Now, divide both sides by 78: \[ y = \frac{312}{78} = 4 \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(y\) back to find \(x\) Now substitute \(y = 4\) back into one of the original equations. We can use Equation 1': \[ 15(4) - 2x = 48 \] This simplifies to: \[ 60 - 2x = 48 \] Now, solve for \(x\): \[ -2x = 48 - 60 \] \[ -2x = -12 \] \[ x = 6 \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the equations is: \[ x = 6, \quad y = 4 \]
