Here are the solutions to the systems of equations from question 3.

a) Solve the system:

2x−y=2xy(1)2x - y = 2xy \quad (1) x+2y=16xy(2)x + 2y = 16xy \quad (2)

Given x≠0,y≠0x \neq 0, y \neq 0.

Step 1: Divide both equations by xyxy.
From (1): 2xxy−yxy=2xyxy  ⟹  2y−1x=2(3)\frac{2x}{xy} - \frac{y}{xy} = \frac{2xy}{xy} \implies \frac{2}{y} - \frac{1}{x} = 2 \quad (3)
From (2): $\frac{x}{xy} + \frac{2y}{xy} = \frac{16
