Answer:
x = -53/54 & y = -16/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
12x – 10y – 6 = 0 or, 12x – 10y = 6 …(i)
18x = 6y – 7 or, 18x – 6y = -7 …(ii)
Solution:
On multiplying 3 into (i) and 2 into (ii)
36x – 30y = 18 ….(iii)
36x – 12y = -14 ….(iv)
On substracting (iii) from (iv)
(36x – 12y) – (36x – 30y) = -14-18
=> 36x – 36x +30y – 12y = -32
=> 18y = -32
y = -32/18 = -16/9
On putting y = -16/9 in (i)
12x – 10*(-16/9) = 6
=> 12x + 160/9 = 6
=> 12x = 6 – 160/9
=> 12x = (54 – 160)/9
=> 12x = -106/9
=> x = -106/(9*12)
x = -53/54
Therefore, x = -53/54 & y = -16/9. ANS.
