Value of x is 19/74
Explanation:
Step 1:
Given equations are 23x + y = 6 and 3x + 13y = 2. Multiply the first equation by 13 to make the coefficients of y the same. So, y can be eliminated and value of x can be found.
⇒ 299x + 13y = 78 ----- (1)
⇒ 3x + 13y = 2 ----------- (2)
Step 2:
Subtract (2) from (1)
⇒ 296x = 76
⇒ x = 19/74
