1. Solve the following pair of linear equations by cross-multiplication method.

4x + 6y = 5, 2x + 9y = 3

2. 5x + 4y – 4 = 0, x – 12y – 20 = 0

3. 3x – 5y + 1 = 0, 2x + 3y – 12 = 0

6. ax + by = a2, bx – ay = ab

7. (a – b)x + (a + b)y = 2a2 – 2b2, ax – by = a2 + b2

8. ax – by = a2 + b2, x + y = 2a

9. ax – ay = 2 (a –1)x + (a + 1)y = 2(a2 + 1)
