Apple ----------x
Orenge ------------ y
1 x + 5 y = 29 .............1
3 x + 4 y = 32 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -4
Multiply (2) by 5
-4 x -20 y = -116
15 x 20 y = 160
Add the two equations
11 x = 44
/ 11
x = Rs 4.00 Apple
plug value of x in (1)
1 x + 5 y = 29
4 + 5 y = 29
5 y = 29 -4
5 y = 25
y = Rs 5.00 Orange
