find values of r,s,t that produce the solution of (2,-3) pleas show how you got it... -3x-5y=9 rx-sy=t Solution -3x-5y=9 -----eq.1 rx-sy=t ------eq.2 do r*eq1 + 3*eq.2 -3rx - 5ry = 9r 3rx - 3sy = 3t -------------------- 0 - y(5r + 3s) = 9r + 3t ==> y = - (9r + 3t)/(5r + 3s) given y = -3 ==> -3 = - (9r + 3t)/(5r + 3s) ==> 5r + 3s = 3r + t => 5r + 3s = t -------eq.3 and do s*eq1 - 5*eq.2 -3sx - 5sy = 9s 5rx - 5sy = 5t -------------------- - x(5r + 3s) + 0 = 9s - 5t ==> x = - (9s - 5t)/(5r + 3s) given x = 2 ==> 2 = - (9s - 5t)/(5r + 3s) ==> 10r + 6s = -9s + 5t => 2r + 3s = t -------eq.4 from eq. 3 and 4 we get 5r + 3s = t 2r + 3s = t ----------------- 3r -0 = 0 => r = 0 and s = t/3 and t = 3s .
