Question

solve for x and y148x+231y=527231x+148y=610

Answer 1

Heya..!!

148x + 231y = 527----------(1)
231x + 148y = 610----------(2)



On adding----(1) and-----(2)

we get,

148x + 231y = 527
231x + 148y = 610
---------------------------
379x + 379y = 1137

⇒x + y = 3--------------(3)


NOW,

on subtracting ------(1) & ------(2)

we get,


231x + 148y = 610
148x + 231y = 527
(-)____(-)____(-)
-------------------------
83x - 83y = 83

⇒x - y = 1---------(4)


from-----(3) & ------(4)

X + y = 3
X - y = 1
------------
2x = 4

⇒x = 4/2

⇒x = 2 put in---(3)

we get,


X + y = 3

⇒2 + y = 3

⇒y = 3 - 2

⇒y = 1

∴ x = 2 , y = 1
