Answer:
(x, y) = (1/2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting twice the first equation from the second gives ...
(2/x +1/y) -2(1/x -5/y) = (3) -2(7)
11/y = -11 . . . . simplify
y = -1 . . . . . . . multiply by y/-11
Using the second equation, we can find x:
2/x +1/-1 = 3
2/x = 4 . . . . . . . add 1
x = 1/2 . . . . . . . multiply by x/4
The solution is (x, y) = (1/2, -1).

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you clear fractions by multiplying each equation by xy, the problem becomes one of solving simultaneous 2nd-degree equations. It is much easier to consider this a system of linear equations, where the variable is 1/x or 1/y. Solving for the values of those gives you the values of x and y.
A graph of the original equations gives you an extraneous solution of (x, y) = (0, 0) along with the real solution (x, y) = (0.5, -1).
Answer:
The difference in the amount of interest she would have to pay for the two loans is $1,400
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of loan Holly is taking out, P = $10,000
The choices available for the loan are;
1) Loan duration, T₁ = 4-year
Interest rate, R₁ = 4%
2) Loan duration, T₂ = 6-year
Interest rate, R₂ = 5%
For the first choice, we have;
The simple interest, I, given by the formula;
For the second choice, we have;
The simple interest, I, given by the formula;
The difference, D, in the amount of interest she would have to pay for the two loans is therefore;
D = I₂ - I₁ = $3,000 - $1,600 = $1,400
The difference in the amount of interest she would have to pay for the two loans = D = $1,400.
