The correct Answer is:
To solve the given system of equations: 1. **Write the equations:** \[ \frac{10}{x+y} - \frac{4}{x-y} = -2 \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ \frac{15}{x+y} + \frac{7}{x-y} = 10 \quad \text{(2)} \] 2. **Substitute variables:** Let \[ a = \frac{1}{x+y} \quad \text{and} \quad b = \frac{1}{x-y} \] Then, we can rewrite the equations as: \[ 10a - 4b = -2 \quad \text{(3)} \] \[ 15a + 7b = 10 \quad \text{(4)} \] 3. **Multiply the equations to eliminate one variable:** Multiply equation (3) by 3 and equation (4) by 2: \[ 30a - 12b = -6 \quad \text{(5)} \] \[ 30a + 14b = 20 \quad \text{(6)} \] 4. **Subtract equation (5) from equation (6):** \[ (30a + 14b) - (30a - 12b) = 20 - (-6) \] This simplifies to: \[ 14b + 12b = 20 + 6 \] \[ 26b = 26 \] Therefore, \[ b = 1 \] 5. **Substitute \(b\) back to find \(a\):** Substitute \(b = 1\) into equation (3): \[ 10a - 4(1) = -2 \] \[ 10a - 4 = -2 \] \[ 10a = 2 \] \[ a = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \] 6. **Back substitute to find \(x\) and \(y\):** Recall that: \[ a = \frac{1}{x+y} \implies x+y = 5 \quad \text{(7)} \] \[ b = \frac{1}{x-y} \implies x-y = 1 \quad \text{(8)} \] 7. **Solve the system of equations (7) and (8):** Add equations (7) and (8): \[ (x+y) + (x-y) = 5 + 1 \] \[ 2x = 6 \implies x = 3 \] Substitute \(x = 3\) into equation (7): \[ 3 + y = 5 \implies y = 2 \] 8. **Final answer:** The solution is: \[ x = 3, \quad y = 2 \]
