<span>Multiply equation(2) with 4 so that coefficient of become same in both the equations(You can make coefficient of y same and can follow the following procedure.)
</span><span>* Subtract (3) from (1)
* </span>Divide both sides by -19
*Subtract 21 from both sides.
*Divide both sides by 4
so the solution is x= 3 and y= -7
Hope I helped you :)
Another way to write this is:
x = 23y + 5
xy = 6732
Now plug in the first equation into the second:
(23y + 5)y = 6732
23y^2 + 5y - 6732 = 0
Either use quadratic equation or factor:
(y - 17)(23y + 396) = 0
y = 17 or -396/23
You know you can automatically eliminate the second y because it's negative and you need the two integers to multiply to a positive number (6732).
Plug y = 17 back into either equation (second might be easier):
17x = 6732
x = 396
