Given:

The system of equation is


15x+12y=18


5x+4y=6

To find:

The solution of given system of equations by using elimination method.

Solution:

We have,


15x+12y=18 ...(i)


5x+4y=6 ...(ii)

Multiply equation (ii) by 3.


3(5x+4y)=3(6)


3(5x)+3(4y)=18


15x+12y=18 ...(iii)

After subtracting (iii) from (i), we get


(15x+12y)-(15x+12y)=18-18


15x+12y-15x-12y=0


0=0

This statement is true for all values of x and y. So, the given system of equations has infinitely many solutions and both equations represents coincident lines.
