Question

$$1/x+5/y=3,x=2,y=0$$

Answer

$$x=y/(3*y-5),-(-5+sqrt(25+4*y^2))/(2*y),-(-5-sqrt(25+4*y^2))/(2*y)$$

Solution


Rewrite the expression with a common denominator.
\[\begin{aligned}&\frac{y+5x}{xy}=3\\&x=2\\&y=0\end{aligned}\]
Break down the problem into these 2 equations.
\[\frac{y+5x}{xy}=3\]
\[\frac{y+5x}{xy}=x\]
Solve the 1st equation: \(\frac{y+5x}{xy}=3\).
\[x=\frac{y}{3y-5}\]
Solve the 2nd equation: \(\frac{y+5x}{xy}=x\).
\[x=-\frac{-5+\sqrt{25+4{y}^{2}}}{2y},-\frac{-5-\sqrt{25+4{y}^{2}}}{2y}\]
Collect all solutions.
\[x=\frac{y}{3y-5},-\frac{-5+\sqrt{25+4{y}^{2}}}{2y},-\frac{-5-\sqrt{25+4{y}^{2}}}{2y}\]
