Given,
Equations : 23x−35y+2=0,3x+2y=261
⇒23x−35y+2=0⇒69x−10y+12=0⇒9x−10y+12=0⇒10y=9x+12⇒y=109x+12…….(1)
Substituting value of y from equation (1) in 3x+2y=261, we get :
⇒3x+2109x+12=261⇒3x+209x+12=613⇒6020x+3(9x+12)=613⇒6020x+27x+36=613⇒6047x+36=613⇒47x+36=613×60⇒47x+36=130⇒47x=94⇒x=4794=2.
Substituting value of x in equation (1), we get :
⇒y=109x+12⇒y=109×2+12⇒y=1018+12⇒y=1030=3.
Hence, x = 2 and y = 3.
