Answer:

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y

Then the pair of equations

-3/x + 4/y = 11

1/x - 2/y = -5

Can be written as

-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)

u - 2v = -5......................................(2)

From (2)

u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)

Substituting (3) into (1)

-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11

-6v + 15 + 4v = 11

-6v + 4v = 11 - 15

-2v = -4

v = 4/2 = 2

Substituting this value of v in (3)

u = 2v - 5

u = 2(2) - 5

= 4 - 5

= -1

That is

u = -1, v = 2

Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have

1/x = -1

=> x = -1

And

1/y = 2

=> y = 1/2

Therefore

x = -1 and y = 1/2
