Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:


 (CBSE 2008)

Given pair of linear equations is


…(i)


And …(ii)


On multiplying Eq. (i) by 5 and Eq. (ii) by 2 to make the coefficients of equal, we get the equation as


…(iii)


…(iv)


On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get







On putting in Eq. (ii), we get






Hence, and , which is the required solution.
