-3a=-3-2b
a=1+2/3b
Solution
a=1+2/3b
8x - y = 54
8x + 2y = 60
subtracting, we get -3y = -6
y = 2
x = 7
Answer is (c) (7,2)
Answer:
x²+1/x² = 51
Explanation:
Given x - 1/x = 7 ---(1)
We know the algebraic identity:
a²+b²-2ab = (a-b)²
Or
a²+b² = (a-b)²+2ab
Now,
x²+1/x²
= (x-1/x)²+2*x*(1/x)
= (x-1/x)²+2
:7²+2 [ from (1)] =
= 49+2
= 51
Therefore,
x²+1/x² = 51
