Given:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)x+(3)/(5)y=12----(A) \\ \\ (5)/(2)y-3x=6-----(B) \end{gathered}

Required:

To find the solution of the given equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Myltiply equation A with 9/2 we get


3x+(27)/(10)y=54----(C)

Add equation (C) and (B), we get


\begin{gathered} (5)/(2)y+(27)/(10)y+60 \\ \\ ((5)/(2)+(27)/(10))y=60 \\ \\ (2.5+2.7)y=60 \\ \\ 5.2y=60 \\ \\ y=(60)/(5.2) \\ \\ y=11.53 \end{gathered}

Now put y in equation B, we get


\begin{gathered} (5)/(2)(11.53)-3x=6 \\ \\ 28.825-3x=6 \\ \\ -3x=6-28.825 \\ \\ -3x=-22.825 \\ \\ x=(22.825)/(3) \\ \\ x=7.6 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:


((99)/(13),(150)/(13))
