Answer

Given, equations :

9x4y=8\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{x} - \dfrac{4}{y} = 8 …….(1)

13x+7y=101\Rightarrow \dfrac{13}{x} + \dfrac{7}{y} = 101 …..(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 7, we get :

7(9x4y)=7×863x28y=56 ……(3)\Rightarrow 7\Big(\dfrac{9}{x} - \dfrac{4}{y}\Big) = 7 \times 8 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{63}{x} - \dfrac{28}{y} = 56 \text{ ……(3)}

Multiplying equation by (2) by 4, we get :

4(13x+7y)=4×10152x+28y=404 …….(4)\Rightarrow 4\Big(\dfrac{13}{x} + \dfrac{7}{y}\Big) = 4 \times 101 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{52}{x} + \dfrac{28}{y} = 404 \text{ …….(4)}

Adding equation (3) and (4), we get :

(63x28y)+(52x+28y)=56+40463+52x=460115x=460x=115460=14.\Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{63}{x} - \dfrac{28}{y}\Big) + \Big(\dfrac{52}{x} + \dfrac{28}{y} \Big) = 56 + 404 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{63 + 52}{x} = 460 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{115}{x} = 460 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{115}{460} = \dfrac{1}{4}.

Substituting value of x in equation (1), we get :

9144y=8364y=84y=3684y=28y=428=17.\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{\dfrac{1}{4}} - \dfrac{4}{y} = 8 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 36 - \dfrac{4}{y} = 8 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{y} = 36 - 8 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{y} = 28 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = \dfrac{4}{28} = \dfrac{1}{7}.

Hence, x = 14 and y=17\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ and } y = \dfrac{1}{7}.
