Explanation:


\sf 2x-y-3=0\dots \dots (1)


\sf 3x+4y=65 \\ \implies\sf 3x+4y-65=0 \dots\dots(2)

  • from eq (1)


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf 2x-y-3=0


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf 2x-3=y


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf y=2x-3 \dots\dots(3)

  • Substitute the value in eq(2)


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf 3x+4y-65=0


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf 3x +4 (2x-3)-65=0


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf 3x+8x-12-65=0


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf 11x-77=0


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf 11x=77


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf x={\frac {77}{11}}


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf x=7

  • Substitute the value in eq (3)


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf y=2x-3


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf y=2 (7)-3


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf y=14-3


{:}\longrightarrow
\sf y=11


\therefore
{\underline{\boxed{\bf (x,y)=(7,11)}}}
