The correct Answer is:
To solve the pair of equations given by: 1. \( 4x + \frac{6}{y} = 15 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 6x - \frac{8}{y} = 14 \) (Equation 2) we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply both equations by \( y \) (since \( y \neq 0 \)). From Equation 1: \[ y(4x) + y\left(\frac{6}{y}\right) = 15y \] This simplifies to: \[ 4xy + 6 = 15y \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] From Equation 2: \[ y(6x) - y\left(\frac{8}{y}\right) = 14y \] This simplifies to: \[ 6xy - 8 = 14y \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equations Now, we can rearrange both equations to isolate terms involving \( y \): From Equation 3: \[ 4xy - 15y + 6 = 0 \quad \text{(Rearranged Equation 3)} \] From Equation 4: \[ 6xy - 14y - 8 = 0 \quad \text{(Rearranged Equation 4)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the equations simultaneously Now we have two equations: 1. \( 4xy - 15y + 6 = 0 \) 2. \( 6xy - 14y - 8 = 0 \) We can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \) from one of the equations. Let's solve for \( y \) in terms of \( x \) from Equation 3. Rearranging Equation 3 gives: \[ 4xy - 15y = -6 \] Factoring out \( y \): \[ y(4x - 15) = -6 \] Thus, \[ y = \frac{-6}{4x - 15} \quad \text{(Equation 5)} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( y \) into the other equation Now substitute Equation 5 into Equation 4: \[ 6x\left(\frac{-6}{4x - 15}\right) - 14\left(\frac{-6}{4x - 15}\right) - 8 = 0 \] Multiplying through by \( (4x - 15) \) to eliminate the denominator gives: \[ -36x + 84 - 8(4x - 15) = 0 \] Expanding: \[ -36x + 84 - 32x + 120 = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ -68x + 204 = 0 \] Solving for \( x \): \[ 68x = 204 \implies x = \frac{204}{68} = 3 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( x \) back to find \( y \) Now substitute \( x = 3 \) back into Equation 5 to find \( y \): \[ y = \frac{-6}{4(3) - 15} = \frac{-6}{12 - 15} = \frac{-6}{-3} = 2 \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the pair of equations is: \[ x = 3, \quad y = 2 \]
