1)  

  3x +   7y = 28xy ,       2x - 7y = 28xy ,      x ≠ 0 y ≠ 0

x = Answer: 4

y = Answer: 0


SOLUTION 1 :

This system is not linear in x and y 

Consider, 3x - 7y = 28xy .

multiply by xy on both the sides,

3y + 7x = 28

7x + 3y = 28 ...... (1)

Consider, 2x + 7y = 28xy

Multiply by xy on both sides.

 7x + 2y = 28  ..... (2)

Now, (1) and (2) is a linear system in x and y.

(1) - (2) , we get

7x + 3y = 28   

7x + 2y = 28 

        1y = 0

                                  y = 0.

Substituting y = 0 in (1).

7x + 3(0) = 28.

7x + 0 = 28

7x = 28 - 0

7x = 28

          x = 287

          x = 4

The system has two solutions is ( 4, 0 ).

Verifiction : 

L.H.S. of (1) = 7x + 3y = 7(4) + 3(0) = 28 + 0 = 28  R.H.S. of (1)

L.H.S. of (2) = 7x + 2y = 7(4) + 2(0) = 28 + 0 = 28 R.H.S.of (2).

 



2)  

  3x +   5y = 20xy ,       2x - 5y = 15xy ,      x ≠ 0 y ≠ 0

x = Answer: 1

y = Answer: 5


SOLUTION 1 :

This system is not linear in x and y 

Consider, 3x - 5y = 20xy .

multiply by xy on both the sides,

3y + 5x = 20

5x + 3y = 20 ...... (1)

Consider, 2x + 5y = 15xy

Multiply by xy on both sides.

 5x + 2y = 15  ..... (2)

Now, (1) and (2) is a linear system in x and y.

(1) - (2) , we get

5x + 3y = 20   

5x + 2y = 15 

        1y = 5

                                  y = 5.

Substituting y = 5 in (1).

5x + 3(5) = 20.

5x + 15 = 20

5x = 20 - 15

5x = 5

          x = 55

          x = 1

The system has two solutions is ( 1, 5 ).

Verifiction : 

L.H.S. of (1) = 5x + 3y = 5(1) + 3(5) = 5 + 15 = 20  R.H.S. of (1)

L.H.S. of (2) = 5x + 2y = 5(1) + 2(5) = 5 + 10 = 15 R.H.S.of (2).

x = Answer: -6

y = Answer: 15


SOLUTION 1 :

This system is not linear in x and y 

Consider, 4x - 5y = 30xy .

multiply by xy on both the sides,

4y + 5x = 30

5x + 4y = 30 ...... (1)

Consider, 3x + 5y = 15xy

Multiply by xy on both sides.

 5x + 3y = 15  ..... (2)

Now, (1) and (2) is a linear system in x and y.

(1) - (2) , we get

5x + 4y = 30   

5x + 3y = 15 

        1y = 15

                                  y = 15.

Substituting y = 15 in (1).

5x + 4(15) = 30.

5x + 60 = 30

5x = 30 - 60

5x = -30

          x = -305

          x = -6

The system has two solutions is ( -6, 15 ).

Verifiction : 

L.H.S. of (1) = 5x + 4y = 5(-6) + 4(15) = -30 + 60 = 30  R.H.S. of (1)

L.H.S. of (2) = 5x + 3y = 5(-6) + 3(15) = -30 + 45 = 15 R.H.S.of (2).

multiply by xy on both the sides,

4y + 2x = 26

2x + 4y = 26 ...... (1)

Consider, 3x + 2y = 32xy

Multiply by xy on both sides.

 2x + 3y = 32  ..... (2)

Now, (1) and (2) is a linear system in x and y.

(1) - (2) , we get

2x + 4y = 26   

2x + 3y = 32 

        1y = -6

                                  y = -6.

Substituting y = -6 in (1).

2x + 4(-6) = 26.

2x + -24 = 26

2x = 26 - -24

2x = 50

          x = 502

          x = 25

The system has two solutions is ( 25, -6 ).

Verifiction : 

L.H.S. of (1) = 2x + 4y = 2(25) + 4(-6) = 50 + -24 = 26  R.H.S. of (1)
