Solve the following pairs of equations
43x + 67y = –24, 67x + 43y = 24
Given pair of linear equations is
…(i)
and
…(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 43 and Eq. (ii) by 67 and then subtracting both of them, we get
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Now, put the value of x in Eq. (i), we get
![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence, the required values of x and y are 1 and - 1, respectively.
