(C) Let $u = \frac{1}{x+y}$ and $v = \frac{1}{x-y}$.The equations become:$25u - 7v = -2$  --- $(1)$$15u - 7v = -4$  --- $(2)$Subtracting equation $(2)$ from equation $(1)$:$(25u - 7v) - (15u - 7v) = -2 - (-4)$$10u = 2 \implies u = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}$.Substituting $u = \frac{1}{5}$ in equation $(1)$:$25(\frac{1}{5}) - 7v = -2$$5 - 7v = -2$$-7v = -7 \implies v = 1$.Now,$\frac{1}{x+y} = \frac{1}{5} \implies x+y = 5$ --- $(3)$And $\frac{1}{x-y} = 1 \implies x-y = 1$ --- $(4)$Adding $(3)$ and $(4)$:$2x = 6 \implies x = 3$.Substituting $x = 3$ in $(3)$:$3 + y = 5 \implies y = 2$.Thus,the solution is $(x, y) = (3, 2)$.

Solve the following pair of linear equations: $\frac{25}{x+y} - \frac{7}{x-y} = -2$ and $\frac{15}{x+y} - \frac{7}{x-y} = -4$.
