1)  

 57x - 25y = 81,       25x - 57y = 1 , 

x = Answer: 1.75

y = Answer: 0.75


SOLUTION 1 :

This system is  linear in x and y 

25x + 57y = 81 ...... (1)

 57x + 25y = 1  ..... (2)

Now, (1) and (2) is a linear system in x and y.

(1) + (2) , we get

25x - 57y = 81   

57x - 25y = 1

 82x - 82y = 82

Dividing by 82, we get,

x - y = 1   .....   (3)

(1) - (2), we get

 25x - 57y = 81

+57x + 25y = 1

32x + 32y = 80

Dividing by 32, we get

 1x + 1y = 2.5  .......   (4)

Solving (3) ans (4) we get

 x - y = 1

x + y = 2.5

   2x = 3.5

x = 3.52

x = 1.75

Substituting x = 1.75 in (3).

1.75 - y = 1

-y = 1- 1.75

-y = -0.75

y = 0.75

The system has two solutions is ( 1.75, 0.75 ).

Verifiction : 

L.H.S. of (1) = 57x - 25y = 57(1.75) - 25(0.75) = 99.75 - 18.75 = 81  R.H.S. of (1)

L.H.S. of (2) = 25x - 57y = 25(1.75) + 57(0.75) = 43.75 - 42.75 = 1 R.H.S.of (2).
