Example1. Solve linear equations 7x-8y=11 and 8x-7y=7 using Addition-Substraction Method
Solution: `7x-8y=11`
and `8x-7y=7`
`=>7x-8y=11 ->(i)`
`=>8x-7y=7 ->(ii)`
Adding Equation `(i)` and `(ii)`, we get
`=>15x-15y=18`
`=>5x-5y=6 ->(iii)` (On simplifying)
Subtracting Equation `(ii)` from `(i)`, we get
`=>-x-y=4`
`=>x+y=-4 ->(iv)` (On simplifying)
Now solving these equations `(iii)` and `(iv)` using substitution method
Suppose, `5x-5y=6 ->(1)`
and `x+y=-4 ->(2)`
Taking equation `(2)`, we have
`x+y=-4`
`=>x=-y-4 ->(3)`
Putting `x=-y-4` in equation `(1)`, we get
`5x-5y=6`
`=>5(-y-4)-5y=6`
`=>-5y-20-5y=6`
`=>-10y-20=6`
`=>-10y=6+20`
`=>-10y=26`
`=>y=-13/5 ->(4)`
Now, Putting `y=-13/5` in equation `(3)`, we get
`x=-y-4`
`=>x=-1(-13/5)-4`
`=>x=(13-20)/5`
`=>x=-7/5`
`:.x=-7/5" and "y=-13/5`
