Question:
Solve the following systems of equations:
$152 x-378 y=-74$
$-378 x+152 y=-604$
Solution:
The given equations are:
$152 x-378 y=-74 \ldots(i)$
$-378 x+152 y=-604 \ldots(i i)$
Multiply equation $(i)$ by 152 and equation $(i i)$ by 378 and add both equations we get
Put the value of $x$ in equation $(i)$, we get
$152 \times 2-378 y=-74$
$\Rightarrow-378 y=-378$
$\Rightarrow y=1$
Hence the value of $x=2$ and $y=1$
