By solving the linear equations we get the final values of x = 4 & y = 4.
What is the linear equation?
A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, and only a constant and a first-order term are included.
We have,
2x + 7y = -20 ----------(i)
x - 3y = 16 ----------(ii)
By multiplying equation (ii) with 2 we get,
2x + 7y = -20 ---------(III)
2x - 6y = 32 -----------(IV)
taking subtraction of equations (III) and (IV), we get
y = 4
by putting value of y in equation (ii) we get,
x = 4
Hence by solving the linear equations we get the values of x = 4 & y = 4.
