Áp dụng tính chất của dãy tỉ số bằng nhau ta có:
\(\frac{1+3y}{12}=\frac{1+5y}{5x}=\frac{1+7y}{4x}=\frac{1+3y+1+5y-1-7y}{12+5x-4x}=\frac{\left(1+1-1\right)+\left(3y+5y-7y\right)}{12+\left(5x-4x\right)}\)\(=\frac{3+y}{12+x}=\frac{15+5y}{60+5x}\)
\(=\frac{1+5y}{5x}=\frac{15+5y}{60+5x}=\frac{15+5y-1-5y}{60+5x-5x}=\frac{14}{60}=\frac{7}{30}\)
=> \(\frac{1+3y}{12}=\frac{7}{30}\) => \(1+3y=\frac{7}{30}\cdot12=\frac{14}{5}\)=> \(3y=\frac{9}{5}\)=> \(y=\frac{9}{5}:3=\frac{3}{5}\)
\(\frac{1+5y}{12}=\frac{7}{30}\)=> \(5x=\left(1+5y\right):\frac{7}{30}=\left(1+5\cdot\frac{3}{5}\right)\cdot\frac{30}{7}=4\cdot\frac{70}{7}=\frac{120}{17}\)=> \(x=\frac{120}{17}:5=\frac{24}{17}\)
=> \(x=\frac{24}{7}\), \(y=\frac{3}{5}\)
