Given that,

The equations : 2f-5g=-9 and -7f+3g=4

To find,

The solution of the above equations.

Solution,

We have,

2f-5g=-9 ....(1)

-7f+3g=4 ......(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 7 and equation (2) by 2.

14f-35g=-63 ....(3)

-14f+6g=8 ......(4)

Add equation (3) and (4)

14f-35g -14f+6g = -63 + 8

-29g = -55

g = 55/29

g = 1.89

Put the value of g in equation (1).

2f-5(1.89)=-9

2f = -9+5(1.89)

f = 0.225

Hence, the solution of the above equations are g = 1.89 and f = 0.225.
