Answer:

x = 5 , y = 3

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{3 x + 4 y = 27 | (equation 1)

5 x - 3 y = 16 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{5 x - 3 y = 16 | (equation 1)

3 x + 4 y = 27 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x - 3 y = 16 | (equation 1)

0 x+(29 y)/5 = 87/5 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 5/29:

{5 x - 3 y = 16 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Add 3 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{5 x+0 y = 25 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

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

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 5 , y = 3
