 4x7y+28=0       — (i) 

 7x+5y+9=0     — (ii) 

The form of the equations is 

a1x+b1y+c1=0, a2x+b2y+c2=0 

By cross multiplication method, we know that 

x(b1c2b2c1)= y(c1a2c2a1) = 1(a1b2a2b1) 

Now, substituting the value of a, b and c from equation (i) and (ii) 

 x{(7)×95×28}=y{28×(7)9×4}=1{4×5(7)×(7)} 

 x63140=y19636=12049 

 x203=y232=129 

 x203=129 

 29x=203 

 x=7 

And, 

 y232=129 

 29y=232 

 y=8 

Hence, the required value of x is 7 and y is 8.
