If 29x + 37y = 103 and 37x + 29y = 95 then

We have,

29x + 37y = 103 …(i)


37x + 29y = 95 …(ii)


Now, adding both the equations we get:


66x + 66y = 198


66 (x + y) = 198



x + y = 3 …(iii)


Now, subtracting (i) from (ii) we get:


8x – 8y = – 8


x – y = – 1 …(iv)


Now adding (iii) and (iv), we get


2x = 2


x = 1


Putting the value of x in (iii), we get


1 + y = 3


y = 3 – 1 = 2


Hence, option A is correct
