I. 30x + 7y = 50        ------(1)

Multiplying this equation with 14 on both sides, we get

⇒ 420x + 98y = 700        ------(2)

II. 420x + 91y = 560 ----(3)

Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2, we get,

(420x – 420x ) + (98y – 91y) = (700 – 560)

7y = 140

Then, y = 20           ------(4)

Substituting equation 4 in equation 1, we get,

30x + 7 × 20 = 50

⇒ 30x = 50 - 140

⇒ 30x = - 90

⇒ x = - 3

So, when x = - 3, x < y for y = 20

∴ So, we can observe that x < y.
