Question:
Solve the following systems of equations:
$23 x-29 y=98$
$29 x-23 y=110$
Solution:
The given equations are:
$23 x-29 y=98 \ldots(i)$
$29 x-23 y=110 \ldots($ ii $)$
Multiply equation $(i)$ by 23 and equation $(i i)$ by 29 and subtract (ii) from (i) we get
Put the value of $x$ in equation $(i)$, we get
$23 \times 3-29 y=98$
$\Rightarrow-29 y=29$
$\Rightarrow y=-1$
Hence the value of $x=3$ and $y=-1$
