Answer:
2/x+3/y=11.....eq1
5/x-4y=-7........eq2
now multiply eq1 by 4 and eq2 by 3
(2/x+3/y=11)4
(5/x-4/y=-7)3
8/x+12/y=11...... eq3
15/x-12/y=-21.....eq4
now subtract eq3 by eq 4
8/x+12/y=11
15/x-12/y=-21
-------------------
8/x+15/x=11-21
8+15/x=-10
23/x=-10
23=-10x
x=-23/10
x=-2.3....eq5
now put eq 5th in 1st and get y
