Question 537483
4    	x	+	8	y	=	7	.............1	
3	x	+	4	y	=	6	.............2	
Eliminate 	y							
multiply (1)by 		1						
Multiply (2) by		-2						
4	x		8	y	=	7		
-6	x	+	-8	y	=	-12		
Add the two equations								
-2	x				=	-5		
/	-2							
x	=	2.50	OR 5/2					
plug value of 			x	in (1)				
4    	x	+	8	y	=	7		
10		+	8	y	=	7		
			8	y	=	7		-10
			8	y	=	-3		
				y	=	-0.38	OR -3/8
