Solution: $x=114.5 , y= 56.5$

$2x-4y=3 (1) , 3x-5y=61 (2)$ Multiplied equation (1) by $3$

and equation (2) by $2$ we get,

$6x-12y=9 (3) , 6x-10y=122 (4)$ , sbtracting equation (3)

from equation (4) we get, $2y=113 :.y = 56.5$ . Substituting

$y = 56.5$ in equation (1) we get, $2x-4*56.5=3$ or

$2x-226=3 or 2x =229 or x= 114.5$

Solution: $x=114.5 , y= 56.5$ [Ans]
