Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Cross-multiply the given equation to eliminate the denominators.

    jx(x+3y)=(3x+j4)(1+jy)jx(x+3y) = (3x+j4)(1+jy)
  2. Expand both sides of the equation.

    The left side becomes:

    jx2+j3xyjx^2 + j3xy

    The right side becomes:

    3x(1)+3x(jy)+j4(1)+j4(jy)3x(1) + 3x(jy) + j4(1) + j4(jy) 3x+j3xy+j4+j24y3x + j3xy + j4 + j^24y

    Since j2=−1j^2 = -1, substitute this into the equation:

    3x+j3xy+j4−4y3x + j3xy + j4 - 4y

    Group the real and imaginary terms on the right side:

    (3x−4y)+j(3xy+4)(3x - 4y) + j(3xy + 4)
  3. Equate the real and imaginary parts of the expanded equation.

    The full equation is:

    jx2+j3xy=(3x−4y)+j(3xy+4)jx^2 + j3xy = (3x - 4y) + j(3xy + 4)

    We can write the left side as 0+j(x2+3xy)0 + j(x^2 + 3xy).
    Equating the real parts:

    0=3x−4y(∗)0 = 3x - 4y \quad (*)

    Equating the imaginary parts:

    x2+3xy=3xy+4(∗∗)x^2 + 3xy = 3xy + 4 \quad (**)
  4. Solve the system of equations.

    From equation (∗∗)(**), we can cancel 3xy3xy from both sides:

    x2=4x^2 = 4 x=±4x = \pm \sqrt{4} x=±2x = \pm 2

    Now, use equation (∗)(*) to find the corresponding values of yy:

    3x−4y=03x - 4y = 0 4y=3x4y = 3x y=34xy = \frac{3}{4}x

    For x=2x = 2:

    y=34(2)=64=32y = \frac{3}{4}(2) = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

    For x=−2x = -2:

    y=34(−2)=−64=−32y = \frac{3}{4}(-2) = -\frac{6}{4} = -\frac{3}{2}

    The solutions for xx and yy are:

    x=2,y=32andx=−2,y=−32\boxed{x=2, y=\frac{3}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad x=-2, y=-\frac{3}{2}}
