Answer:


( (51)/(77) , (432)/(77) )

Explanation:

13x - y = 3

x - 6y = - 33

Multiply both sides by - 13

13x - y = 3

- 13x - 78y = 429

Eliminate one variable by adding the equations

77y = 432

Divide both sides by 77

y =
(432)/(77)

Now to find x Substitute the given value of Y into the equation


13x - (432)/(77) = 3


x = (51)/(77)


( (51)/(77) , (432)/(77) )

13x - y = 3 .....(1)

x - 6y = -33 ......(2)

eqn (2) × 13

13x - 78y = -429 .....(3)

(3) - (1)

13x - 78y = -429

13x - y = 3

(-). (+). (-)

_________________

- 77y = 431

_________________

-77y = 431

y = 431 ÷ -77

y = -5.5
