Solve the following equations for $x, y \in R$ : $(1-3 i ) x +(2+5 i ) y =1+ i$
Answer
View full question & answer→$ (1-3 i) x+(2+5 i) y=7+i$
$\therefore(x+2 y)+(-3 x+5 y) i=7+i $
Equating real and imaginary parts, we get
$x+2 y=7 \ldots . . .(i)$
$\text { and }-3 x+5 y=1 . . $
Equation (i) $\times 3+$ equation (ii) gives
$11 y =22$
$\therefore y =2$
Putting $y=2$ in (i), we get
$ x+2(2)=7$
$\therefore x=3$
$\therefore x=3 \text { and } y=2$
$\therefore(x+2 y)+(-3 x+5 y) i=7+i $
