Factor out GCF 9 in eq (ii). You should get x - y = 0 ----- eq (iii)

You can then multiply eq (iii) by 8, and then ADD to eq (i) to eliminate y and solve for x

Substitute value of x into any of the 2 ORIGINAL equations to get value of y.

OR

Solve eq (iii) in terms of x and then substitute that value into eq (i) to solve for the value of y

Substitute value of y into any of the 2 ORIGINAL equations to get value of x.

Usually, when the two equations are in the form Ax+By=C, it is easiest to solve the system by elimination.


However, in this case, there is a much easier path to the solution.


Note that the second equation is equivalent to :








That makes solving the system trivial.
