Simultaneous Equations?
Can you solve the following, where a,b,c, f and g are positive constants. To get a neat results for x and y:
1) c*(a+b)*x^(a+b-1)*y^(b-a)=f
2) c*(b-a)*x^(a+b)*y^(b-a-1)=g
you cant just divide... I don't think.

You can't get the "neat result"
equation 1 / equation 2 ---> y/x = (b-a)f/[(a+b)g] ---> y = x(b-a)f/[(a+b)g] and substitute into equation 1 to solve for x

3y+2x=122x=-3y+12x= -3/2y+6x=-3/2(x-1)+6 =-3/2x-(-3/2)+6 = -3/2x+15/25/2x=15/2x= 3y= -3/2y+6-15/2y= 5y= 2
