Vedic Sutra #7: By Addition and by Subtraction
|
We want to solve for x and y, from:
Ax + By = C
Bx + Ay = F
|
Note: The coefficients of x and y are interchanged !
Example #1:
45x - 23y = 113
23x - 45y = 91
- Add the two equation and get: 68x - 68y = 204 so x - y = 3
- Subtract the two equations and get: 22x + 22y = 22 so x + y = 1
- Solve for x by adding to get 2x = 4 so x = 2
- Solve for y by subtracting to get -2y = -2 so y = -1
Why?
Uh ... there's no need to explain why, eh?
... just add and subtract
