$\"\"$

The equations of linear system are $\"\"$ where $\"\"$ .

Since the coefficient of the x - term in the above two equations is same, eliminate these terms by subtracting the equations.

Write the equations in column form and subtract to eliminate variable x.

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ and solve it for y.

Divide each side by 5.

$\"\"$

Cancel common terms.

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

Substitute the value of $\"\"$ in equation 2: $\"\"$ and solve for x.

$\"\"$

Add 6 to each side.

$\"\"$

Divide each side by a.

$\"\"$

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

The solution is $\"\"$ .
