subtracting equation (II) and (III)
3x + 21y = 30
-
-3x +2y = -7
________________________
23y = 23 → ∴ y = 1
∴ x + 7 × 1 = 10
∴ x = 10 - 7
∴ x = 3
soln : 1/3x + y = 10/3 . . . . (I) ; 2x - 1/4y = 11/4 . . . . (II)
Multiplying 1/4 to equation (I)
7/12x + 1/4y = 43/12 . . . . (III)
Adding equation (II) and (III)
7/12x + 1/4y = 43/12
+
2x - 1/4y = 11/4
________________________
19/12x = 76/12 → ∴ x = 4
∴ 1/3 × 4 + y = 10/3
∴ y = 10/3 - 13/3
∴ y = -1
soln : 99x + 101y = 499 . . . . (I) ; 101x - 99y = 501 . . . . (II)
