Math Problem Statement
((1/2)m)+((2/3)n)-6=0 and ((-3/2)m)+((1/2)n)+3=0
Solution
We are given two simultaneous linear equations:
To solve for and , let's follow these steps:
Step 1: Eliminate fractions by multiplying the equations by suitable numbers.
First equation:
Multiply the entire equation by 6 (LCM of 2 and 3) to clear the fractions:
Second equation:
Multiply the entire equation by 2 to clear the fractions:
Step 2: Solve the system of linear equations.
We now have two equations:
- (Equation 3)
