Answer:

x = 5/6 , y = 8/5

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{12 x + 15 y = 34 | (equation 1)

{5 y - 6 x = 3 | (equation 2)

Add 1/2 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{12 x + 15 y = 34 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(25 y)/2 = 20 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 2/5:

{12 x + 15 y = 34 | (equation 1)

{0 x+5 y = 8 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 5:

{12 x + 15 y = 34 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 8/5 | (equation 2)

Subtract 15 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{12 x+0 y = 10 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 8/5 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 12:

{x+0 y = 5/6 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 8/5 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 5/6 , y = 8/5
