The below equation is solved by cross multiplication method:
Given 5x + 4y - 4 = 0 .........(i)
x - 12y - 20 = 0 ........(ii)
Here, a1 = 5, b1= 4, c1= -4
a2= 1, b2 = - 12, c2 = - 40
By cross-multiplication method,
{tex}\frac { x } { b _ { 2 } c _ { 1 } - b _ { 1 } c _ { 2 } } = \frac { y } { c _ { 1 } a _ { 2 } - c _ { 2 } a _ { 1 } } = \frac { 1 } { a _ { 1 } b _ { 2 } - a _ { 2 } b _ { 1 } }{/tex}
{tex}\frac { x } { - 80 - 48 } = \frac { y } { - 4 + 100 } = \frac { 1 } { - 60 - 4 }{/tex}
{tex}\frac { x } { - 128 } = \frac { y } { 96 } = \frac { 1 } { 64 }{/tex}
{tex}\frac { x } { - 128 } = \frac { 1 } { - 64 } \text { and } \frac { y } { 96 } = \frac { 1 } { - 64 }{/tex}
Hence, {tex}x = 2 \text { and } y = \frac { - 3 } { 2 }{/tex}
