Solve the following pairs of equations
Given pair of linear equations are
…(i)
and …(ii)
Let then above equation becomes
…(iii)
and …(iv)
On multiplying Eq. (iii) by 8 and Eq. (iv) by 6 and then adding both of them, we get
68x = 204
x = 3
Now, put the value of x in Eq. (iii), we get
Hence, the required values of x and y are 3 and 2, respectively.
