Question
Solve 2a – 3/b = 12 and 5a – 7/b = 1
Hint:
find 1/b by eliminating a and find a by substituting value of b in the equations .
The correct answer is: a = -81 ; b = -1/58
Ans :- a = -81 ; b = -1/58
Explanation :-
Step 1:- find the value of 1/b by eliminating a
By 5eq1 - 2eq2 we get
Step 2:- find the value of a by substitution -1/b = 58 in eq 1
a = -81 and b = -1/58 are the solution of the given equation.

For the solution of the system of equations above, what is the value of ?
Note:
The equations can be solved in many other ways like substitution
method which is: to eliminate one variable in any one of the
equations with the help of other equation. As we need to find the
value of x, we try to find the value of y in terms of x from one
equation. Then put that value of y in the other equation to get a linear equation in one variable , which is x.
