y=65/12 and x=73/12y=6512andx=7312

Explanation:

x-y =2/3xy=23

or x=y + 2/3x=y+23

10*y = 42 + 2*(y+(2/3))10y=42+2(y+(23))

10*y - 2*y = 42 + 4/310y2y=42+43

8*y = (126 + 4)/38y=126+43

8*y = 130/38y=1303

y = 130 /(8*3)y=13083

y = 65/12y=6512

After this step, you can solve x:

x = 65/12 + 2/3x=6512+23

or x= (65+8)/12x=65+812

x= 73/12x=7312
