Answer

Simplifying, equation : x6+6=y\dfrac{x}{6} + 6 = y

x6+6=yx+366=yx+36=6yx=6y36 ….(1)\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{6} + 6 = y \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x + 36}{6} = y \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + 36 = 6y \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 6y - 36 \text{ ….(1)}

Substituting value of x from equation (1) in 3x4=1+y\dfrac{3x}{4} = 1 + y, we get :

3(6y36)4=1+y18y1084=1+y18y108=4(1+y)18y108=(4+4y)18y4y=4+10814y=112y=11214y=8.\Rightarrow \dfrac{3(6y - 36)}{4} = 1 + y \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{18y - 108}{4} = 1 + y \\[1em] \Rightarrow 18y - 108 = 4(1 + y) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 18y - 108 = (4 + 4y) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 18y - 4y = 4 + 108 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 14y = 112 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = \dfrac{112}{14} \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = 8.

Substituting value of y in equation (1), we get :

⇒ x = 6y - 36

⇒ x = 6(8) - 36

⇒ x = 48 - 36

⇒ x = 12.

Hence, x = 12, y = 8.
