Example1. Solve linear equations x+y=2 and 2x+3y=4 using Cross Multiplication Method
Solution: `x+y=2`
and `2x+3y=4`
`x+y-2=0 ->(1)`
`2x+3y-4=0 ->(2)`
Here, `a_1=1, b_1=1, c_1=-2`
`a_2=2, b_2=3, c_2=-4`
`x=(b_1*c_2-b_2*c_1)/(a_1*b_2-a_2*b_1)`
`=((1)(-4)-(3)(-2))/((1)(3)-(2)(1))`
`=((-4)-(-6))/((3)-(2))`
`=(2)/(1)`
`=2`
`y=(c_1*a_2-c_2*a_1)/(a_1*b_2-a_2*b_1)`
`=((-2)(2)-(-4)(1))/((1)(3)-(2)(1))`
`=((-4)-(-4))/((3)-(2))`
`=(0)/(1)`
`=0`
`:.x=2" and "y=0`
