Solve the System for x and y
{12/x + 5/y = 8
{8/x - 3/y = -1
12x+5y=88x−3y=−1
This is the same as....
12(1x)+5(1y)=88(1x)−3(1y)=−1
Multiply the top equation through by 2 , and
multiply the bottom equation through by -3 .
24(1x)+10(1y)=16−24(1x)+9(1y)=3
Add the two equations together and solve for y .
19(1y)=1919=19y1=y
Plug in 1 for y in one of the original equations to find x .
12x+51=812x=312=3x4=x
12x+5y=88x−3y=−1
