37x+43y=123 ...........(1)
43x+37y=177 ...........(2)
Multiply (1) by 43 and the (2) by 37
1591x + 1849y = 5289
1591x + 1369y = 6549
-----------------------------subtracting
480y = -1260
y = -21/8
substituting the value of y in the equation (1) and simplifying, we get
37x + 43(-21/8) = 123
37x = 123 + (903/8)
37x = 1887/8
x = 1887/296
x = 51/8
