Answer

6u + 3v = 7uv

3u + 9v = 11uv

Multiply second equation by 2 and subtract from first equation, we get

(3u + 9v = 11uv) x 2

6u+3v=7uv6u+18v=22uv15v=7uv22uv15v=15uv\begin{matrix} & 6u & + & 3v & = & 7uv \ & 6u & + & 18v & = & 22uv \ & - & - & & & - \ \hline & & - & 15v & = & 7uv - 22uv\ \Rightarrow & & - & 15v & = & -15uv \end{matrix}

⇒ u = 15v15v\dfrac{-15v}{-15v}

⇒ u = 1

Substituting the value of u in first equation, we get:

⇒ 6 x 1 + 3v = 7 x 1 x v

⇒ 6 + 3v = 7v

⇒ 7v - 3v = 6

⇒ 4v = 6

⇒ v = 64\dfrac{6}{4}

⇒ v = 32\dfrac{3}{2}

Hence, the value of u = 1 and v = 32\dfrac{3}{2}.
