Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given:


(4)/(x) - (3)/(y) = 1 ---› Equation 1


(8)/(x) + (9)/(y) = 7 ---› Equation 2

Solution:

✔️Equation 1 × 3:


(4)/(x)*3 + (3)/(y)*3 = 1*3


(12)/(x) + (9)/(y) = 3 ---› Equation 3.

✔️Equation 2 + Equation 3:


(8)/(x) + (9)/(y) = 7 ---› Equation 2


(12)/(x) + (9)/(y) = 3 ---› Equation 3.

Thus:


(-4)/(x) = 10

Cross multiply


10x = -4

Divide both sides by 10


x = -(4)/(10)


x = -(2)/(5)

✔️Find y:

Substitute x = -2/5 into equation 1


(4)/(x) - (3)/(y) = 1 ---› Equation 1


(4)/((-2)/(5)) - (3)/(y) = 1


\frac{4}*{(5)/(-2)} - (3)/(y) = 1


-10 - (3)/(y) = 1

Add 10 to both sides


- (3)/(y) = 1 + 10


(-3)/(y) = 11

Cross multiply


11y = -3

Divide both sides by 11


y = -(3)/(11)
