+ = 9
+ = 54
:
multiply both equations by xy, results:
y + 2x = 9xy
7y + 11x = 54xy
:
multiply the 1st equation by 7, subtract the 2nd equation from it
7y + 14x = 63xy
7y + 11x = 54xy
------------------
0 + 3x = 9xy
Divide both sides by 3x:
1 = 3y
y =
:
find x
y + 2x = 9xy
+ 2x = *9x
+ 2x = 3x
= 3x - 2x
x =
:
:
check solution
+ = 54
substitute 1/3 for x and y
(3*7) + (3*11) = 54
