Solve the following pair of linear equations for x and y : 141x + 93y =189 93x+ 141 =45

Answer»

141x + 93y = 189

93x + 141y = 45

To Find:

value of x and y

Solution:

we have,

141x+93y=189  -------------------(i)

93x+141y=45  --------------------(ii)

multiply eq(i) by 93 and eq(ii) by 141

⇒ 93(141x+93y=189)

⇒ 141(93x+141y=45)

⇒ 13113x+8649y=17577

⇒ 13113x+19881y=6345

subtracting the equations

we get,

⇒ -11232y = 11232

⇒ y = -1

putting the value of y = -1  in equation (i)

⇒ 141x+93y=189

⇒ 141x+93*(-1)=189

⇒ 141x-93=189

⇒ 141x=189+93

⇒ 141x=282

⇒ x=2

So, x = 2 and y = -1.
