You are asking to continue the solution for Q2 A) from the image. Your work so far is correct.

Q2 A) Find the values of xx and yy for the equation:
(4+i)x+(5−3i)y=13+i(4+i)x + (5-3i)y = 13+i

  1. Expand the left side of the equation.

    4x+ix+5y−3yi=13+i4x + ix + 5y - 3yi = 13+i
  2. Group the real and imaginary parts on the left side.

    (4x+5y)+(x−3y)i=13+i(4x + 5y) + (x - 3y)i = 13+i
  3. Equate the real parts and the imaginary parts from both sides of the equation.

    This gives a system of two linear equations:

    1. Real parts: 4x+5y=134x + 5y = 13
    2. Imaginary parts: x−3y=1x - 3y = 1
  4. Solve the system of linear equations.

    From equation (2), we can express xx in terms of yy:

    x=1+3y(∗)x = 1 + 3y \quad (*)
  5. Substitute this expression for xx into equation (1).

    4(1+3y)+5y=134(1 + 3y) + 5y = 13 4+12y+5y=134 + 12y + 5y = 13 4+17y=134 + 17y = 13 17y=13−417y = 13 - 4 17y=917y = 9 y=917y = \frac{9}{17}

    Your calculation for yy is correct.

  6. Substitute the value of yy back into the expression for xx from Step 4.

    x=1+3(917)x = 1 + 3\left(\frac{9}{17}\right) x=1+2717x = 1 + \frac{27}{17}

    To add these, find a common denominator:

    x=1717+2717x = \frac{17}{17} + \frac{27}{17} x=17+2717x = \frac{17 + 27}{17} x=4417x = \frac{44}{17}

    The values are x=4417\boxed{x = \frac{44}{17}} and y=917\boxed{y = \frac{9}{17}}.
