Open in App
Solution

Given equations are
3x+2y=4 ....(1)
and 2x3y=7 ....(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2
Therefore, 9x+6y=12 ....(3)
and 4x6y=14 .....(4)
Now add both the equations,we get
13x=26
x=2
Put this value of x in equation (1)
3(2)+2y=4
6+2y=4
2y=2y=1
Therefore, the solution is x=2,y=1.
