Question

5m - n = 3m + 4n  then find the value of the following expression.

`["m"^2 + "n"^2]/["m"^2 - "n"^2]`

Sum

Solution

5m - n = 3m + 4n

⇒ 5m - 3m = n + 4n

⇒ 2m = 5n

⇒ `m/n = 5/2`

`therefore [m^2 + n^2]/[m^2 - n^2]`

Dividing by `n^2` 

= `[m^2/n^2 + n^2/n^2]/[m^2/n^2 - n^2/n^2`

= `[25/4 + 1]/[25/4 - 1]`  ...`(m/n = 5/2)`

= `29/21`
