Solve the following pairs of equations
Given, pair of linear equations is
On multiplying both sides by LCM (3, 4) = 12, we get
…(i)
and
On multiplying both sides by LCM
(6, 8) = 24, we get
…(ii)
Now, adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
24x = 144
x = 6
Now, put the value of x in Eq. (i), we get
Hence, the required values of x and y are 6 and 8, respectively.
