$\frac{4}{10}$

Numerous engineering and scientific applications require finding solutions to a set of equations. Ex: $8x+7y=38$ and $3x-5y=-1$ have a solution $x=3,y=2.$ Given integer coefficients of two linear equations with variables $x$ and $y,$ use brute force to find an integer solution for $x$ and $y$ in the range $-10$ to $10.$

Ex: If the input is:Then the output is:

$x=3,y=2$

Use this brute force approach:Ex: If no solution is found, output:There is no solutionAssume the two input equations have no more than one solution.Note: Elegant mathematical techniques exist to solve such linear equations. However, for other kinds of equations or situations, brute force can be handy.
