Detailed Solution

Given equations are 

      x3y8=0...(i)  x9y14=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)×(14)(9)×(8)}=y{(8)×1(14)×1}=1{1×(9)1×(3)} 

 x(4272)=y(8+14)=1(9+3)  

 x30=y6=16 

 x30=16 

 6x=30 

x=5 

And, 

y6=16 

 6y=6 

 y=1 

Hence, the required value of x is 5 and y is -1.
