Let’s solve the system of equations:
\[\begin{cases}
\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{6}, \\
x - y = -1;
\end{cases}\]
Краткое пояснение: First, we express one variable from the second equation, then substitute it into the first equation and solve for the other variable.
Пошаговое решение:
-
Express x from the second equation:
\[x - y = -1 \Rightarrow x = y - 1\]
-
Substitute x into the first equation:
\[\frac{1}{y - 1} - \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{6}\]
-
Solve for y:
\[\frac{y - (y - 1)}{y(y - 1)} = \frac{1}{6}\]
\[\frac{1}{y^2 - y} = \frac{1}{6}\]
\[y^2 - y = 6\]
\[y^2 - y - 6 = 0\]
-
Solve the quadratic equation for y:
\[y^2 - y - 6 = 0\]
\[(y - 3)(y + 2) = 0\]
\[y = 3 \text{ or } y = -2\]
-
Find the corresponding x values:
-
If \(y = 3\):
\[x = y - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2\]
-
If \(y = -2\):
\[x = y - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3\]
Answer: The solutions are \((2, 3)\) and \((-3, -2)\).
