Solve the following pair of linear equations:
152x – 378y = – 74
–378x + 152y = – 604
152x - 378y = -74
-378x + 152y = -604
The given pair of linear equations is
152x - 378y = -74 ...(i)
-378x + 152y = -604 ...(ii)
Adding equation (i) and equation (ii), we get
-226x - 226y = -678
⇒ x + y = 3 ...(iii)
[Dividing throughout by -226]
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
530x - 530y = 530
⇒ x - y = 1 ...(iv)
[Dividing throughout by 530]
Adding equation (iii) and equation (iv), we get
2x = 4
Subtracting equation (iv) from equation (iii), we get
2y = 2
Hence, the solution of the given pair of linear equations is x = 2, y = 1.
