8x-5y=11 4x-3y=5 solution; 4(8x-5y=11) 8(4x-3y=5) it becomes, [32x-20y=44 - [32x-24y=40 (32x-32x)+(20y--24y)=44-40 it becomes 20y+22y=4 44y=4, dividing by 44 on both sides, it becomes y=1/11 thus, y=1/11 but 4x-3y=5 4x=5+3y 4x=5+3/11 4x=55/11+3/11 4x=58/11, cross multiplying, it becomes. 44x=58 x=58/44 x=29/22 therefore, x=29/22 and y=1/11
