Solve for x and y: bx a + ay b =a^2+b^2, x+y=2ab - Vidyadip

Question

Solve for $x$ and $y$:
$\frac{\text{bx}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{ay}}{\text{b}}=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2,$
$\text{x}+\text{y}=\text{2ab}$

✓

Answer

$\frac{\text{bx}}{\text{a}}-\frac{\text{ax}}{\text{b}}+\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2$
By taking L.C.M., we get
$\frac{\text{b}^2\text{x}+\text{a}^2\text{y}}{\text{ab}}=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2$
$b^2x + a^2y = ab(a^2 + b^2) ...(1)$
$x + y = 2ab ...(2)$
Multiplying $(1)$ by $1$ and $(2)$ by $a^2$
$b^2x + a^2y = a^3b + ab^3 ...(3)$
$a^2x + a^2y = 2a^3b ...(4)$
Subtracting $(4)$ from $(3),$ we get
$b^2x - a^2x = a^3b + ab^3 - 2a^3b$
$x(b^2- a^2) = ab^3- a^3b$
$x(b^2 - a^2) = ab(b^2 - a^2)$
$\therefore\ \text{x}=\frac{\text{ab}(\text{b}^2-\text{a}^2)}{(\text{b}^2-\text{a}^2)}=\text{ab}$
Substituting $x = ab,$ in $(3)$, we get
$b^2(ab) + a^2y = a^3b + ab^3$
$b^3a + a^2y = a^3b + ab^3$
$a^2y = a^3b + ab^3 - b^3a$
$a^2y = a^3b$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{\text{a}^3\text{b}}{\text{a}^3}=\text{ab}$
$\therefore$ solution is $x = ab, y = ab$
