ax + by= c  …………………(i)

bx + ay = 1+ c  ………… ..(ii)

Multiplying a to equation (i) and  b to equation (ii), we obtain

a2x + aby = ac ………………… (iii)

b2x + aby = b + bc  …………… (iv)

Subtracting equation (iv) from equation (iii),

(a2 – b2) x = ac − bc– b

x = (ac − bc– b)/ (a2 – b2)

x = c(a-b) –b / (a2+b2)

From equation (i), we obtain

ax +by = c

a{c(a−b)−b)/ (a2 – b2)} +by=c

ac(a−b)−ab/ (a2 – b2)+by=c

by = c–ac(a−b)−ab/(a2 – b2)

by = abc – bc+ab/a2-b

y = c(a + b) + a/a2-b2
