Solve the following pairs of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations
`(7x-2y)/(xy) = 5`
`(8x + 7y)/(xy) = 15`
उत्तर
`(7x-2y)/(xy) = 5`
`⇒ (7x)/(xy) - (2y)/(xy) = 5`
`⇒ 7/y - 2/x = 5 ... (i)`
`(8x+7y)/(xy) = 15`
`⇒ (8x)/(xy) + (7y)/(xy) = 15`
`⇒ 8/y + 7/x = 15 ... (ii)`
Putting `1/x = p ` in (i) and (ii) we get,
7q - 2p = 5 ... (iii)
8q + 7p = 15 ... (iv)
Multiplying equation (iii) by 7 and multiplying equation (iv) by 2 we get,
49q - 14p = 35 ... (v)
16q + 14p = 30 ... (vi)
Now, adding equation (v) and (vi) we get,
49q - 14p + 16q + 14p = 35 + 30
⇒ 65q = 65
⇒ q = 1
Putting the value of q in equation (iv)
8 + 7p = 15
⇒ 7p = 7
⇒ p = 1
Now,
p = 1/x = 1
⇒ 1/x = 1
⇒ x = 1
also, q = 1 = 1/y
⇒ 1/y = 1
⇒ y = 1
Hence, x =1 and y = 1 is the solution

Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction be x and y respectively. Then the fraction is `x/y`
If the numerator is multiplied by 2 and the denominator is reduced by 5, the fraction becomes `6/5`. Thus, we have
`(2x)/(y-5)=6/5`
`⇒ 10x=6(y-5)`
`⇒ 10x=6y-30`
`⇒ 10x-6y+30 =0`
`⇒ 2(5x-3y+15)=0`
`⇒ 5x - 3y+15=0`
If the denominator is doubled and the numerator is increased by 8, the fraction becomes `2/5`. Thus, we have
`(x+8)/(2y)=2/5`
`⇒ 5(x+8)=4y`
`⇒ 5x+40=4y`
`⇒ 5x-4y+40=0`
So, we have two equations
`5x-3y+15=0`
`5x-4y+40=0`
Here x and y are unknowns. We have to solve the above equations for x and y.
By using cross-multiplication, we have
`x/((-3)xx40-(-4)xx15)=-y/(5xx40-5xx15)=1/(5xx(-4)-5xx(-3))`
`⇒ x/(-120+60)=(-y)/(200-75)=1/(-20+15)`
`⇒x/(-60)=-y/125``=1/-5`
`⇒ x= 60/5,y=125/5`
`⇒ x=12,y=25`
Hence, the fraction is `12/25`
