Answer:
(x, y) = (-1/2, 1/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the simultaneous equation
x+y/ху=1. …1
x-y/xy = 5 …. 2
From 1; x+y = xy …3
From 2; x – y = 5xy …4
Substituting 3 into 4
x – y = 5(x+y)
x – y = 5x + 5y
x – 5x = 5y + y
-4x = 6y
-2x = 3y
x = -3y/2 … 4
Add 3 and 4
2x = 6xy
2 = 6y
y = 2/6
y = 1/3
x = -3(1/3)/2
x = -1/2
Hence (x, y) = (-1/2, 1/3)
