Solve the following system of equations:
$\frac{xy}{x+y} =\frac{6}{5}$
$\frac{xy}{y-x}=6$
Given:
The given system of equations is:
$\frac{xy}{x+y} =\frac{6}{5}$
$\frac{xy}{y-x}=6$
To do:
We have to solve the given system of equations.
Solution:
The given system of equations can be written as,
$\frac{xy}{x+y} =\frac{6}{5}$
$5(xy)=6(x+y)$ (On cross multiplication)
$6x+6y=5xy$---(i)
$\frac{xy}{y-x}=6$
$xy=6(y-x)$ (On cross multiplication)
$6y-6x=xy$---(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get,
$6x+6y+6y-6x=5xy+xy$
$12y=6xy$
$\frac{xy}{y}=\frac{12}{2}$
$x=2$
Using $x=2$ in equation (i), we get,
$6(2)+6y=5(2)y$
$12+6y=10y$
$10y-6y=12$
$4y=12$
$y=\frac{12}{4}$
$y=3$
Therefore, the solution of the given system of equations is $x=2$ and $y=3$.
