Question -
Answer -
We have,
21x + 47y = 110 …(i)
47x + 21y = 162 …(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 47 and Equation (ii) by 21, we get
987x + 2209y = 5170 …(iii)
987x + 441y = 3402 …(iv)
Subtracting equation (iv) from equation (iii),
we get
1768y = 1768
y = 1
Substituting value of y in equation (i), we get
21x + 47 = 110
or 21x = 63
or x = 3
So, x = 3, y = 1
