Solution : 15x + 17y = 21. . . (I)
17x + 15y = 11 . . . (II)
Let’s add the two given equations.
15x + 17y = 21
17x + 15y = 11
32x + 32y = 32
Dividing both sides of the equation by 32.
x + y = 1 . . . (III)
Now, let’s subtract equation (II) from (I)
15x + 17y = 21
17x + 15y = 11
-2x + 2y = 10
dividing the equation by 2.
-x + y = 5 . . . (IV)
Now let’s add equations (III) and (V).
x + y = 1
-x + y = 5
\ 2y = 6 \ y = 3
Place this value in equation (III).
x + y = 1
\ x + 3 = 1
\ x = 1 - 3 \ x = -2
(x, y) = (-2, 3) is the solution.
