Solve \[\frac{2x+y}{3}-\frac{2[x+y]}{4}=2\], \[-\frac{2[x-y]}{5}-\frac{x+2y}{2}=-1\]
Solution
STEP 1
Solve the following system: {1/2 (-y - x) + 1/3 (y + 2 x) = 2 1/2 (-2 y - x) - 2/5 (-y + x) = -1
STEP 2
Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation 1/2 (-y - x) + 1/3 (y + 2 x) = 2. (-y - x)/2 + (y + 2 x)/3 = (-y/2 - x/2) + (y/3 + (2 x)/3) = -y/6 + x/6: {(-y/6 + x/6) = 2 1/2 (-2 y - x) - 2/5 (-y + x) = -1
STEP 3
Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation 1/2 (-2 y - x) - 2/5 (-y + x) = -1. (-2 y - x)/2 - (2 (-y + x))/5 = (-y - x/2) + ((2 y)/5 - (2 x)/5) = -(3 y)/5 - (9 x)/10: {-y/6 + x/6 = 2 (-(3 y)/5 - (9 x)/10) = -1
STEP 4
Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for. In the first equation, look to solve for x: {-y/6 + x/6 = 2 -(3 y)/5 - (9 x)/10 = -1
STEP 5
Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side. Add y/6 to both sides: {x/6 = (y + 12)/6 -(3 y)/5 - (9 x)/10 = -1
STEP 6
Hint: | Solve for x. Multiply both sides by 6: {x = y + 12 -(3 y)/5 - (9 x)/10 = -1
STEP 7
Hint: | Perform a substitution. Substitute x = y + 12 into the second equation: {x = y + 12 -(3 y)/5 - (9 (y + 12))/10 = -1
STEP 8
Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation -(3 y)/5 - (9 (y + 12))/10 = -1. (-3 y)/5 - (9 (y + 12))/10 = -(3 y)/5 + (-(9 y)/10 - 54/5) = -(3 y)/2 - 54/5: {x = y + 12 (-(3 y)/2 - 54/5) = -1
STEP 9
Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for. In the second equation, look to solve for y: {x = y + 12 -(3 y)/2 - 54/5 = -1
STEP 10
Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side. Add 54/5 to both sides: {x = y + 12 -(3 y)/2 = 49/5
STEP 11
Hint: | Solve for y. Multiply both sides by -2/3: {x = y + 12 y = -98/15
STEP 12
Hint: | Perform a back substitution. Substitute y = -98/15 into the first equation: Answer: | | {x = 82/15 y = -98/15
