Question 252374: The real numbers x and y satisfy the equations y(2x − 3y) = 19 and
x(3x − 4 y) = 94 . Evaluate |x-y |. Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This one appears a bit tricky. We have two equations and two unknowns:
step 1: divide the first equation by y and the second equation by x.
step 2: multiply the first equation by -1 and add the two equations together.
step #3: We can take the absolute value of both sides. absolute value (x-y) = 94/x - 19/y
