Solve the simultaneous equations frac 2 x - fra... - JAMB Mathematics 1997 Question

Solve the simultaneous equations (\frac{2}{x} - {\frac{2}{x}}) = 2, (\frac{4}{x} + {\frac{3}{y}}) = 10

A
x = \(\frac{3}{2}\), y = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
B
x = \(\frac{1}{2}\), y = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
C
x = \(\frac{-1}{2}\), y = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
D
x = \(\frac{1}{2}\), y = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Correct Option: B

(\frac{2}{x} - {\frac{2}{x}}) = 2.....(1)

(\frac{4}{x} + {\frac{3}{y}}) = 10

(\frac{6}{x}) = 12 (\to) x = (\frac{6}{12})

x = (\frac{1}{2})

put x = (\frac{1}{2}) in equation (i)

= 4 - (\frac{3}{y}) = 2

= 4 - 2

= (\frac{3}{y})

therefore y = (\frac{3}{2})
