Question
Solve the system of equations by using the method of cross multiplication:
7x - 2y – 3 = 0,
`11x - 3/2 y – 8 = 0.`
Solution
The given equations may be written as:
7x - 2y – 3 = 0 …….(i)
`11x - 3/2 y – 8 = 0` …….(ii)
Here a1 = 7, b1 = -2, c1 = -3, a2 = 11, b2 = - `3/2` and c2 = -8
By cross multiplication, we have:
`∴ x/([(−2)×(−8) −(−32) ×(−3)]) = y/([(−3) × 11 −(−8) × 7])= 1/[(7 × (−32)−11 ×(−2)])`
`⇒x/((16− 9/2)) = y/((−33+56)) = 1/((−21/2 + 22))`
`⇒x/((23/2)) = y/23 = 1/((23/2))`
`⇒x = (23/2)/(23/2) = 1, y = 23/(23/2) = 2`
Hence, x = 1 and y = 2 is the required solution.

Susan invested certain amount of money in two schemes A and B, which offer interest at the rate of 8% per annum and 9% per annum, respectively. She received Rs 1860 as annual interest. However, had she interchanged the amount of investments in the two schemes, she would have received Rs 20 more as annual interest. How much money did she invest in each scheme?
