Solve for x and y:

We have


and


Lets simplify these equations. Assuming p = 1/x and q = 1/y,




2q + 5p = 6 …(i)


Also,



4q – 5p = - 3 …(ii)


To solve these equations, we need to make one of the variables (in both the equations) have same coefficient.


Coefficients of p in both equations are already same.



6q = 3


q = 1/2


Substitute q = 1/2 in eq.(i)/eq.(ii), as per convenience of solving.


Thus, substituting in eq.(ii), we get


4(1/2) – 5p = - 3


2 – 5p = - 3


5p = 5


p = 1


Thus, p = 1 and q = 1/2


As p = 1/x,


1 = 1/x


x = 1


And q = 1/y,



y = 2


Hence, we have x = 1 and y = 2
