Question

Solve the following equations :
x+y+z+u=2a, x+yzu=2b,xy+zu=2c, xyz+u=2d.

Open in App
Solution

x+y+z+u=2a, x+yzu=2b, .........(1)

xy+zu=2c, xyz+u=2d ...................(2)

Adding first two and adding last two,
we get
x+y=a+b,xy=c+d

x=12(a+b+c+d),y=12(a+bcd)

Subtracting first two and subtracting last two,

z+u=ab and zu=cd.

z=12(ab+cd),u=12(abc+d).
