Answer:
x=3
y=2
solution=(x,y)=(3,2)
Solution:-
99x + 101y = 499 ..........(i) eq
101x + 99y = 501 ..........(ii) eq
Clearly , the coefficient of x and y in one equation are interchanged in the other
Adding (i) and (ii) , we get
99x + 101y + 101x + 99y = 499 + 501
99x + 101x + 101y + 99y =1000
200x + 200y = 1000
200( x + y ) = 1000
x + y = 1000/200
x + y = 5 ..............(iii) eq
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
101x + 99y - ( 99x + 101y ) = 501 - 499
101x + 99y - 99x - 101y = 2
2x - 2y = 2
2(x - y ) = 2
x - y = 1 ............(iv)eq
Now using elimination method
Adding (iii) and (iv) , we get
x + y + x - y = 5 + 1
2x = 6
x = 3
Now put the value of x on (iv) eq
x - y = 1
3 - y = 1
- y = - 2
y = 2
