Question
Solve for $x$ and $y$:
$6(ax + by) = 3a + 2b,$
$6(bx - ay) = 3b - 2a$
$6(ax + by) = 3a + 2b,$
$6(bx - ay) = 3b - 2a$
✓
Answer
$6(ax + by) = 3a + 2b$
$6ax + 6bx = 3a + 2b ...(1)$
$6(bx - ay) = 3b - 2a$
$6bx - 6ay = 3b - 2a ...(2)$
$6ax + 6bx = 3a + 2b ...(1)$
$6bx - 6ay = 3b - 2a ...(2)$
Multiplying (1) by by a and (2) by b
$6a^2x + 6b^2x = 3a^2 + 2ab ...(3)$
$6a^2x - 6b^2x = 3b^2- 2ab ...(4)$
Adding (3) and (4), we get
$6a^2x + 6b^2x = 3a^2 + 3b^2$
$6(a^2 + b^2)x = 3(a^2 + b^2)$
$\text{x}=\frac{3\big(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2\big)}{6\big(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2\big)}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
Substituting $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$ in (1), we get
$\text{6a}\times\frac{1}{2}+\text{6by}=\text{3a}+\text{2b}$
$\text{3a}+\text{6by}=\text{3a}+\text{2b}$
$\text{6by}=\text{3a}+\text{2b}-\text{3a}$
$\text{6by}=\text{2b}$
$\text{y}=\frac{\text{2b}}{\text{6b}}=\frac{1}{3}$
Hence, the solution is $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2},\ \text{y}=\frac{1}{3}$
$6ax + 6bx = 3a + 2b ...(1)$
$6(bx - ay) = 3b - 2a$
$6bx - 6ay = 3b - 2a ...(2)$
$6ax + 6bx = 3a + 2b ...(1)$
$6bx - 6ay = 3b - 2a ...(2)$
Multiplying (1) by by a and (2) by b
$6a^2x + 6b^2x = 3a^2 + 2ab ...(3)$
$6a^2x - 6b^2x = 3b^2- 2ab ...(4)$
Adding (3) and (4), we get
$6a^2x + 6b^2x = 3a^2 + 3b^2$
$6(a^2 + b^2)x = 3(a^2 + b^2)$
$\text{x}=\frac{3\big(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2\big)}{6\big(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2\big)}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
Substituting $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$ in (1), we get
$\text{6a}\times\frac{1}{2}+\text{6by}=\text{3a}+\text{2b}$
$\text{3a}+\text{6by}=\text{3a}+\text{2b}$
$\text{6by}=\text{3a}+\text{2b}-\text{3a}$
$\text{6by}=\text{2b}$
$\text{y}=\frac{\text{2b}}{\text{6b}}=\frac{1}{3}$
Hence, the solution is $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2},\ \text{y}=\frac{1}{3}$
