Solve the 16
Dear Student,
Let 1/x be u and 1/y be v
Therefore,
2u + 2v/3 = 1/6 ...(i)
And
3u + 2v = 0 ...(ii)
Subtracting 2/3 x(ii) from (i)
we have,
2u + 2v/3 = 1/6
-2u - 4v/3 = 0
Or, -2v/3 = 1/6
Or, -v = 1/4
v = -1/4
Substituting value of v in equation (ii) , we have
3u + 2v = 0
Or, 3u + 2(-1/4) = 0
Or, 3u -1/2 = 0
Or, u = 1/6
Therefore,
1/x = u = 1/6
so, x = 6
And,
1/y = v = -1/4
So, y = -4
I hope you understood the solution
Regards
