Fractional Equations
1. We are given a system of two equations with variables $m$ and $n$:
$$\frac{m}{2} + \frac{n}{3} - \frac{13}{6} = 0$$
$$\frac{2m}{7} - \frac{n}{4} = \frac{14}{1}$$
2. Let's simplify each equation first.
For the first equation, multiply everything by 6 (the common denominator) to clear fractions:
$$6 \times \left(\frac{m}{2} + \frac{n}{3} - \frac{13}{6}\right) = 6 \times 0$$
$$3m + 2n - 13 = 0$$
Rewrite as:
$$3m + 2n = 13$$
3. For the second equation, multiply everything by 28 (the common denominator of 7 and 4):
$$28 \times \left(\frac{2m}{7} - \frac{n}{4}\right) = 28 \times 14$$
$$8m - 7n = 392$$
4. We now have the system:
$$3m + 2n = 13$$
$$8m - 7n = 392$$
5. Solve the system. Multiplying the first equation by 7 and the second by 2 to eliminate $n$:
$$7(3m + 2n) = 7(13) \Rightarrow 21m + 14n = 91$$
$$2(8m -7n) = 2(392) \Rightarrow 16m - 14n = 784$$
6. Add these equations to eliminate $n$:
$$21m + 14n + 16m - 14n = 91 + 784$$
$$37m = 875$$
Solve for $m$:
$$m = \frac{875}{37}$$
7. Substitute $m = \frac{875}{37}$ into the first simplified equation:
$$3\left(\frac{875}{37}\right) + 2n = 13$$
Calculate:
$$\frac{2625}{37} + 2n = 13$$
$$2n = 13 - \frac{2625}{37} = \frac{481}{37} - \frac{2625}{37} = -\frac{2144}{37}$$
Solve for $n$:
$$n = -\frac{2144}{74} = -\frac{1072}{37}$$
8. Final solution:
$$m = \frac{875}{37}$$
$$n = -\frac{1072}{37}$$
