Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
, where x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0
Given pair of linear equations is
![]()
Or 2x + 5y = 6xy …(i)
And ![]()
Or 4x – 5y = – 3xy …(ii)
On adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get
2x + 5y + 4x – 5y = 6xy – 3xy
⇒ 6x = 3xy
![]()
⇒ y = 2 and x = 0
On putting y = 2 in Eq. (ii), we get
2x + 5(2) = 6xy
⇒ 2x + 10 = 6x(2)
⇒ 2x + 10 = 12x ⇒ 2x – 12x = – 10
⇒ – 10x = – 10
⇒ x = 1
On putting x = 0 , we get y = 0
Hence, x = 0,1 and y = 0,2 , which is the required solution.
