Given that 3x - 5y - 3 = 0, 2y - 6x + 5 = 0 the value of (x,...

Given that 3x - 5y - 3 = 0, 2y - 6x + 5 = 0 the value of (x, y) is

A.

(18,1924)

B.

8, 2419

C.

-8, 2419

D.

(1924,18)

Correct answer is D

3x - 5y = 3, 2y - 6x = -5

-5y + 3x = 3........{i} x 2

2y - 6x = -5.........{ii} x 5

Substituting for x in equation (i)

-5y + 3(1924) = 3

-5y + 3 x 1924 = 3

-5y = 3198

-5 = 24198

= 58

y = 58×5

y = 18

(x, y) = (1924,18
