Find the values of x and y from the following pair of linear equations :
62x + 43y = 167
43x + 62y = 148
(x = 2, y = 1)
62x + 43y = 167 …(i)
43x + 62y = 148 …(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) and simplifying, we get x + y = 3 …(iii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i) and simplifying, we get x − y = 1 …(iv)
Solving (iii) and (iv) to get x = 2 and y = 1
