Question:
Solve the following systems of equations:
$11 x+15 y+23=0$
$7 x-2 y-20=0$
Solution:
The given equations are:
$11 x+15 y+23=0 \quad \ldots(i)$
$7 x-2 y-20=0 \quad \ldots(i i)$
Multiply equation $(i)$ by 2 and equation $(i i)$ by 15 , and add both equations we get
Put the value of $x$ in equation $(i)$ we get
$11 \times 2+15 y+23=0$
$\Rightarrow 15 y=-45$
$\Rightarrow y=-3$
Hence the value of $x=2$ and $y=-3$
