The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of natural number pairs \((x, y)\) such that \(x > y\) and \(\frac{5}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 1\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation Start with the given equation: \[ \frac{5}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 1 \] Multiply through by \(xy\) to eliminate the denominators: \[ 5y + 6x = xy \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives: \[ xy - 5y - 6x = 0 \] ### Step 3: Add 30 to both sides To factor the equation, we can add 30 to both sides: \[ xy - 5y - 6x + 30 = 30 \] ### Step 4: Factor the left-hand side Now we can factor the left-hand side: \[ (x - 5)(y - 6) = 30 \] ### Step 5: Identify factor pairs of 30 Next, we need to find the pairs of natural numbers \((a, b)\) such that \(ab = 30\): - \(1 \times 30\) - \(2 \times 15\) - \(3 \times 10\) - \(5 \times 6\) ### Step 6: Relate factor pairs back to \(x\) and \(y\) For each factor pair \((a, b)\), we can set: - \(x - 5 = a\) - \(y - 6 = b\) Thus: - \(x = a + 5\) - \(y = b + 6\) ### Step 7: Calculate pairs and check \(x > y\) Now we calculate \(x\) and \(y\) for each factor pair: 1. For \(1 \times 30\): - \(x = 1 + 5 = 6\) - \(y = 30 + 6 = 36\) (not valid since \(x\) is not greater than \(y\)) 2. For \(2 \times 15\): - \(x = 2 + 5 = 7\) - \(y = 15 + 6 = 21\) (not valid since \(x\) is not greater than \(y\)) 3. For \(3 \times 10\): - \(x = 3 + 5 = 8\) - \(y = 10 + 6 = 16\) (not valid since \(x\) is not greater than \(y\)) 4. For \(5 \times 6\): - \(x = 5 + 5 = 10\) - \(y = 6 + 6 = 12\) (not valid since \(x\) is not greater than \(y\)) 5. For \(6 \times 5\): - \(x = 6 + 5 = 11\) - \(y = 5 + 6 = 11\) (not valid since \(x\) is not greater than \(y\)) 6. For \(10 \times 3\): - \(x = 10 + 5 = 15\) - \(y = 3 + 6 = 9\) (valid since \(x > y\)) 7. For \(15 \times 2\): - \(x = 15 + 5 = 20\) - \(y = 2 + 6 = 8\) (valid since \(x > y\)) 8. For \(30 \times 1\): - \(x = 30 + 5 = 35\) - \(y = 1 + 6 = 7\) (valid since \(x > y\)) ### Step 8: Count valid pairs The valid pairs are: 1. \((15, 9)\) 2. \((20, 8)\) 3. \((35, 7)\) Thus, the total number of valid pairs \((x, y)\) such that \(x > y\) is **3**. ### Final Answer The number of natural number pairs \((x, y)\) such that \(x > y\) and \(\frac{5}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 1\) is **3**.
