      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4x + 3y = 26  -(i)
 3x – 11 y = -7   -(ii)
 Multiplying first eqn by 3,we get,
 12x + 9y = 78   -(iii)
 Multiplying 2nd eqn by 4,we get,
 12x - 44y = -28    -(iv)
 Subtracting eqn (iv) from (iii),
 53y = 106
 or, y =2
 putting value of y in eqn (i).
 x = 5
