Q11.4.3). Solve: 4/7x - 2/7y = 6/7, and 2/5y - 3/5x = -6/5
4/7x - 2/7y = 6/7, (1a) and 2/5y - 3/5x = -6/5 (2a)
Multiply both sides of (1a) by 7 and multiply both sides of (2a) by 5
4x-2y=6 (1b) and 2y-3x=-6 (2b)
-3x+2y=-6 (2b)
(1a)+(2b)
4x-3x-2y+2y=6+-6
x=0
Sub into (1b)
-3*0+2y=-6
0+2y=-6
y=-3
SO x=0, y=-3
