Given equations are 

   2x +3y=17     

   3x2y=6       

We may also write the equations as 

2x +3y17=0..(i)

3x2y6=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{3×(6)(2)×(17)}=y{(17)×3(6)×2}=1{2×(2)3×3} 

 x1834=y51+12=149 

 x52=y39=113 

 x52=113 

 13x=52 

 x=4 

And, 

 y39=113 

 13y=39 

 y=3 

Hence, the required value of x is 4 and y is 3.
