7x - 3y = 17 ............(2)
(1) * 3 & (2) * 5
5x * 3 + 5y * 3 = -13* 3
15 x + 15 y = - 39 ............(3)
7x * 5 - 3y * 5 = 17 *5
35 x - 15 y = 85 ..........(4)
(3) + (4)
50x = 46
x = 46 /50 = 0.92
substituting x =0.92 in (1)
5 * 0.92 + 5y = -13
4.6 + 5y = -13
5y = -13 - 4.6 = -17.6
y = -17.6 / 5 = -3.52
