Q2 of 92 Page 77

Let us solve the following simultaneous linear equations in two variables by applying cross multiplication method.

3x – 4y = 1


4x = 3y + 6

3x - 4y - 1 = 0


4x - 3y - 6 = 0



To solve the equation by cross multiplication method, we use:



Putting the values, we get:




So, and


⇒ x = 3 and y = 2
