Answer
Simplifying first equation :
⇒
⇒ x - y = 12(4 - x)
⇒ x - y = 48 - 12x
⇒ x + 12x - y = 48
⇒ 13x - y = 48
⇒ 13x - y - 48 = 0 …….(1)
Simplifying second equation :
⇒ 2x + y = 3(x - 4)
⇒ 2x + y = 3x - 12
⇒ y + 2x - 3x + 12 = 0
⇒ y - x + 12 = 0 …….(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2), we get :
⇒ (13x - y - 48) + (y - x + 12) = 0
⇒ 13x - x - y + y - 48 + 12 = 0
⇒ 12x - 36 = 0
⇒ 12x = 36
⇒ x = = 3.
Substituting value of x in equation (2), we get :
⇒ y - 3 + 12 = 0
⇒ y + 9 = 0
⇒ y = -9.
Hence, x = 3 and y = -9.
