Question

152x-378y=-74 ,-378x+152y=-604

Answer 1

this question is similar to urs as its given above that the coefficients of x and y are similar same is the case with ur question too. so u can solve ur question by this method

hope it helps u

Answer 2

$\Large{\textbf{\underline{\underline{According\;to\;the\;Question}}}}$

152x - 378y = -74 ………...….(1)

-378x + 152y = -604 ………..(2)

Now,

Adding (1) and (2),

-226x - 226y = -678

-226(x + y) = -678

x + y = -678/-226

x + y = 3 ………….(3)

Also,

Subtracting (1) and (2) we get,

530x - 530y = 530

530(x - y) = 530

x - y = 530/530

x - y = 1

x - y = 1 ……. (4)

Now,

Adding (3) and (4) we get,

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Putting value of x in (3) we get,

x + y = 3

2 + y = 3

y = 3 - 2

y = 1

Therefore,

x = 2 and y = 1
