In this tutorial, the program finds out the solutions to the simultaneous equations in two variables. The Linear equations are present in the following form:
- ax+by=c
- px+qy=r
The co-efficient (a, b, c, p, q, r) are taken as an input from the user for the two equations.

Let us see two outputs with two different inputs of two equation:
