Given pair of linear equations in two variables are :

7x-3y = 8------------(1)

3x-4y = 1-------------(2)

On multiplying (1) with 3 then

21x-9y = 24 ---------(3)

On multiplying with 7 then

21x-28y = 7 ----------(4)

On subtracting (4) from (3) then

21x-9y = 24

21x-28y = 7

(-) (+) (-)

__________

0+19y = 17

__________

→ 19y = 17

→ y = 17/19

On substituting the value of y in (2) then

→ 3x-4(17/19) = 1

→ 3x -(68/19) = 1

→ (57x-68)/19 = 1

→ 57x-68 = 1×19

→ 57x -68 = 19

→ 57x = 19+68

→ 57x = 87

→ x = 87/57

Therefore, the value of x and y is 87/57 and 17/19 respectively.
