Answer
Given, equations :
⇒ 13x + 11y = 70 ……….(1)
⇒ 11x + 13y = 74 ……….(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 11, we get :
⇒ 11(13x + 11y) = 11 × 70
⇒ 143x + 121y = 770 ……..(3)
Multiplying equation (2) by 13, we get :
⇒ 13(11x + 13y) = 13 × 74
⇒ 143x + 169y = 962 ……..(4)
Subtracting equation (3) from (4), we get :
⇒ 143x + 169y - (143x + 121y) = 962 - 770
⇒ 143x - 143x + 169y - 121y = 192
⇒ 48y = 192
⇒ y = = 4
Substituting value of y in equation (1), we get :
⇒ 13x + 11(4) = 70
⇒ 13x + 44 = 70
⇒ 13x = 70 - 44
⇒ 13x = 26
⇒ x = = 2.
Hence, x = 2 and y = 4.
