Answer :

By solving the linear equations we get the final values of x = 4 & y = 4.

What is the linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, and only a constant and a first-order  term are included.

We have,

               2x + 7y = -20           ----------(i)

                x - 3y = 16               ----------(ii)

By multiplying equation (ii) with 2 we get,

               2x + 7y = -20 ---------(III)

               2x - 6y = 32 -----------(IV)

taking subtraction of equations (III) and (IV), we get

               y = 4

by putting value of y in equation (ii) we get,

               x = 4

Hence by solving the linear equations we get the values of x = 4 & y = 4.
