The correct Answer is:
To solve the simultaneous equations: 1. \( \frac{3}{x} + \frac{2}{y} = 10 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( \frac{9}{x} - \frac{7}{y} = 10.5 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations Let's rewrite the equations for clarity: - Equation 1: \( \frac{3}{x} + \frac{2}{y} = 10 \) - Equation 2: \( \frac{9}{x} - \frac{7}{y} = 10.5 \) ### Step 2: Multiply Equation 1 by 3 To eliminate \( \frac{9}{x} \) in the second equation, we can multiply Equation 1 by 3: \[ 3 \left( \frac{3}{x} + \frac{2}{y} \right) = 3 \cdot 10 \] This gives us: \[ \frac{9}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 30 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 3: Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3 Now, we subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3: \[ \left( \frac{9}{x} + \frac{6}{y} \right) - \left( \frac{9}{x} - \frac{7}{y} \right) = 30 - 10.5 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{6}{y} + \frac{7}{y} = 30 - 10.5 \] Combining the fractions on the left side gives: \[ \frac{13}{y} = 19.5 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( y \) Now, we can solve for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{13}{19.5} \] To simplify \( \frac{13}{19.5} \), we can multiply the numerator and the denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal: \[ y = \frac{130}{195} \] Now, simplifying \( \frac{130}{195} \) gives: \[ y = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( y \) back into Equation 1 Now that we have \( y \), we can substitute it back into Equation 1 to find \( x \): \[ \frac{3}{x} + \frac{2}{\frac{2}{3}} = 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3}{x} + 3 = 10 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) Now, isolate \( \frac{3}{x} \): \[ \frac{3}{x} = 10 - 3 \] This gives: \[ \frac{3}{x} = 7 \] Now, solving for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the simultaneous equations is: \[ x = \frac{3}{7}, \quad y = \frac{2}{3} \]
