The given equations are:

 \(\frac{x}3+\frac{y}4= 11 \)

⇒ 4x + 3y = 132 …….(i)

and \(\frac{5x}6-\frac{y}3+7= 0 \)

⇒ 5x – 2y = -42 ……..(ii) 

On multiplying (i) by 2 and (ii) by 3, we get: 

8x + 6y = 264 …...(iii) 

15x – 6y = -126 ….(iv) 

On adding (iii) and (iv), we get: 

23x = 138 

⇒ x = 6 

On substituting x = 6 in (i), we get: 

24 + 3y = 132 

⇒ 3y = (132 – 24) = 108 

⇒ y = 36 

Hence, the solution is x = 6 and y = 36.
