1. 1/3x + 1/4y =10;
x/3 + 1/2^2y =10
x/3 + y/2^2 =10
4x+3y/3*2 =10
4x = -3y + 120
x = 3(-y+40)/4

2. 1/4x + 1/3y =11
1/2^2x + y/3 =11
x/2^2 + y/3 =11
3x+ 4y/2^2*3 =11
3x - 4y + 132
x = 4(-y+33)/3

1/4x+1/3y=11
1/3x+1/4y=10
===============
x/4 + y/3 = 11
x/3 + y/4 = 10
------------
Multiply by 12 to eliminate fractions
3x + 4y = 132
4x + 3y = 120
-------------
9x + 12y = 396
16x+ 12y = 480
--------------- Subtract
-7x = - 84
x = 12
------
y = 16
