Sol:
Given
x / a + y / b = 2 ---------(1) ax - by = a2- b2 -------------(2)
Equ(1) can be written as bx + ay = 2ab ---------(3)
multiply equation (2) by a and equation (3) by b and addding
a2 x + b2 x = a3 - ab2 + 2ab2 = a( a2 + b2 )
x = a .
multiply equation (2) by b and equation (3) by a and Substract
- b2y - a2y = ba2- b3 - 2 ba2
-y ( b2 + a2 ) = - b( b2 + a2)
y = b .
