Solve for x a...
Question
Solve for x and y:
6
(
a
x
+
b
y
)
=
3
a
+
2
b
,
6
(
b
x
−
a
y
)
=
3
b
−
2
a
.

Solution
6(ax + by)=3a+2b =>> 6ax+6by-3a-2b=0
6(bx - ay)=3b-2a =>> 6bx-6ay-3b+2a=0
By Rule
2 3 1 2
6b -3a-2b 6a 6b
-6a -3b+2a 6b -6a
Now by cross multiplication method
x
=
y
=
1
(6b)(-3b+2a) - (-(6a)(-3a-2b) ) (6b)(-3a-2b) - ( (6a)(-3b + 2a) ) (6a)(-6a) - (6b)(6b)
x
=
y
=
1
(-18b
2
+ 12ab - 18a
2
- 12ab) ( -18ab-12b
2
+18ab - 12a
2
) -36a
2
-36b
2
x
=
y
=
1
(-18b
2
- 18a
2
) (-12b
2
- 12a
2
) -36(a
2
+b
2
)
x
=
y
=
1
(-18(b
2
+a
2
) ) (-12(b
2
+a
2
)
) -36(b
2
+a
2
)
NOW WE HAVE
x
=
1
(-18(b
2
+a
2
) ) -36(b
2
+a
2
)
x=
-18(b
2
+a
2
)
-36(b
2
+a
2
)
x=
1
2
ALSO y=-12(b
2
+a
2
)
/ -36(b
2
+a
2
)
y=1/3
