Solve the following simultanious equations: zy=28 and 2z-3y=13

zy=28 so y=28/z13=2z-3y13= 2z - (28 x 3)/z13=2z-84/zmultiply each side by z to give 13z = 2z2-84rearange for a quadratic2z2-13z-84=0solve by factorising(2z+8)(z-21/2)z= -4 0r 21/2substitute -4 into both initial equations-4y=28 and -8-3y=13 both give y=-7substitute 21/2 into both inital equations21y/2=28 and 21-3y=13 gives y=8/3(-4,-7) and (21/2,8/3)
