Question 260108
5x - 2y = 12  ---1
4x + 3y = 8   ---2

Multiply eq-- 1 by 3
& eq---2 by 2
we get
15x -6y = 36
8x + 6y = 16

Add the two equations

we get
23x = 52

x= 52/23

Put the value of x in eq. 1

15 * ( 52/23) -2y = 12

-2y= (12 *23)/(52*15)
y= - (12*23)/2*52*15)
Simplify the fraction to get the value of y
