Open in App
Solution

33x+32y=34 ...(i)32x+33y=31 ...(ii)Here we observe that the coefficients of x and y in the first equation are interchanged in the second equation.Adding these two equations, we get: 33x+32y=34 32x+33y=31 65x+65y=65 65x+y=65 x+y=1 ...(iii)Subtracting eq (ii) from (i), we get: 33x+32y=34 32x+33y=31 - - - x-y = 3 ...(iv) From (iii) and (iv) we get: x+y=1 and x-y=3Adding (iii) and (iv) we get: x+y= 1 x-y= 3 2x = 4 x=2Substituting x=2 in eq (iii), we get:2+y=1 y=-1Hence, x=2 and y=-1 is the solution of the given equations .
