    x=2

    y=3

    Solution:

    First we find common denominators. It is "xy". Then we multiply numerators by common denominator. We get followings:

    (4y-3x) / xy=1; (6y+15x) / xy=8

    Then

    4y-3x=xy;

    6y+15=8xy

    Multiply first equasion by 5

    20y-15x=5xy

    Now we add two equasions to get one

    20y-15x=5xy

    6y+15x=8xy

    We get

    26y=13xy

    Cut "y" and we will find "x"

    26=13x

    x=2

    Put x value into the first equasion (4y-3x=xy) to find out "y"

    4y-6=2y

    2y=6

    y=3
