Answer

Given, equations :

⇒ 4x - 3y - 11 = 0 …………(1)

⇒ 6x + 7y - 5 = 0 …………(2)

By cross-multiplication method :

x(3)×(5)7×(11)=y(11)×6(5)×4=14×76×(3)x15+77=y66+20=128+18x92=y46=146x92=146 and y46=146x=9246 and y=4646x=2 and y=1.\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{(-3) \times (-5) - 7 \times (-11)} = \dfrac{y}{(-11) \times 6 - (-5) \times 4} = \dfrac{1}{4 \times 7 - 6 \times (-3)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{15 + 77} = \dfrac{y}{-66 + 20} = \dfrac{1}{28+ 18} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{92} = \dfrac{y}{-46} = \dfrac{1}{46} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{92} = \dfrac{1}{46} \text{ and } \dfrac{y}{-46} = \dfrac{1}{46} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{92}{46} \text{ and } y = \dfrac{-46}{46} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 2 \text{ and } y = -1.

Hence, x = 2 and y = -1.
