Given equations are 

   2x+3y= 13       — (i) 

   5x4y=2    — (ii) 

Let, 1x=u and 1y=v 

2u+3v13=0     — (iii) 

5u4v+2=0       — (iv) 

The form of the equations is 

a1x+b1y+c1=0, a2x+b2y+c2=0 

By cross multiplication method, we know that 

u(b1c2b2c1)= v(c1a2c2a1) = 1(a1b2a2b1) 

Now, substituting the value of a, b and c from equation (iii) and (iv) 

 u{3×2(4)×(13)}=v{(13)×52×2}=1{2×(4)5×3} 

 u652=v654=1815 

 u46=v69=123 

 u46=123 

 23u=46 

 u=2 

And, 

 v69=123 

 23v=69 

 v=3 

Now, 

 1x=2 , 1y=3 

 x=12, y=13  

Hence, the required value of x is 1/2 and y is 1/3.
