Answer:

Jordan made mistake in his first step while multiplying.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression of Jordan's work is

14(8+4x) = 6x-(5-11x)

In the first step, Jordan multiplied the numbers to remove the braces.

He multiplied 14(8+4x) wrong as 14*8 is 112 rather than 126and on the right hand side, he did not change the sign of 11x to positive as two negatives are positive when multiplied.

Hence,

Jordan made mistake in his first step while multiplying.

Solve the system: 2/x - 3/y =-5; 4/x + 6\y =14

sertanlavr [38]

The solution is $x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

Let us assume,

$a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\b = \frac{1}{y}$

Given system of equations are:

$\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{y} = -5$

$\frac{4}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 14$

Rewrite the equation using "a" and "b"

2a - 3b = -5 ------------ eqn 1

4a + 6b = 14 -------------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 2

2(2a - 3b = -5)

4a - 6b = -10 ------------- eqn 3

Add eqn 2 and eqn 3

4a + 6b = 14

4a - 6b = -10

( - ) --------------------

8a = 4

$a = \frac{4}{8}\\\\a = \frac{1}{2}$

Substitute a = 1/2 in eqn 1

$2(\frac{1}{2}) -3b = -5\\\\1 - 3b = -5\\\\3b = 6\\\\b = 2$

Now let us go back to our assumed values

Substitute a = 1/2 in assumed values

$a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{x}\\\\x = 2$

Substitute b = 2 in assumed value

$b = \frac{1}{y}\\\\2 = \frac{1}{y}\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}$

Thus the solution is $x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}$
