3x - 5y = 3, 2y - 6x = -5 -5y + 3x = 3........{i} x 2 2y - 6x = -5.........{ii} x 5 Substituting for x in equation (i) -5y + 3(\(\frac{19}{24}\)) = 3 -5y + 3 x \(\frac{19}{24}\) = 3 -5y = \(\frac{3 - 19}{8}\) -5 = \(\frac{24 - 19}{8}\) = \(\frac{5}{8}\) y = \(\frac{5}{8 \times 5}\) y = \(\frac{-1}{8}\) (x, y) = (\(\frac{19}{24}, \frac{-1}{8}\)
