48. Solve for x and y by the method of elimination:
4x -3 y = 1; 5x – 7y = 2.

Answer/Explanation

Answer:
Explaination:
Given equations are
4x – 3y = 1 …(i)
5x – 7y = -2 …(ii)
For making coefficient of y equal in both the equations multiplying equation (/) with 7, we get
7 × (4x – 3y) = 7 × 1
⇒ 28x – 21y = 7 …(iii)
Multiplying equation (ii) with 3, we get
3 × (5x – 7y) = 3 × -2
⇒ 15x – 21y = -6 …(iv)
Subtracting equation (iv) from (iii), we get

when x – 1, equation (i) becomes
4 × – 3y = 1
⇒ -3y = -3
⇒ y = 1
∴ x= 1, y= 1
