Answer:
In order to make the coefficients of x equal multiply the equation 8x + 5y = 9 by 3 and equation 3x + 2y = 4 by 3
Then we get the equations: 24 x + 15 y = 27 . . . . . . . . . ( 1 )
24 x + 1 6 y = 32 . . . . . . . . . ( 2 )
Subtract Equation (1) from Equation (2) to eliminate x , because the coefficients of x are the same.
So, we get ( 24 x − 24 x ) + ( 16 y − 15 y )
= 32 − 27
i.e. y = 5
Substituting this value of y in the equation 8x + 5y = 9 ,
we get 8x + 25 = 9
i.e. 8x = − 16
i.e. x = −2
Hence, the solution of the equations is x = − 2 , y = 5 .
