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.
