  Write an efficient, not brute force, python program that solves the following problem: suppose we have two unknown quantities x and y. If three time x plus two times y is twenty, and 2 times x plus three time y is ten, what are x and y?

  To solve this problem efficiently, we can use linear algebra. We can represent the equations as a system of linear equations, and then use matrix operations to solve for the unknown quantities x and y.
  
  First, we can represent the equations as follows:
  
  3x + 2y = 20
  2x + 3y = 10
  
  Next, we can put the equations in matrix form:
  
  | 3 2 | | x | | 20 |
  | 2 3 | * | y | = | 10 |
  
  To solve for x and y, we can use the inverse of the matrix on the left side to eliminate the coefficients. The inverse of a matrix is denoted as A^-1, and is calculated as follows:
  
  A^-1 = (1/det(A)) * adj(A)
  
  Where det(A) is the determinant of the matrix A, and adj(A) is the adjugate matrix of A. The determinant of a 2x2 matrix is calculated as follows:
  
  det(A) = a * d - b * c
  
  Where a, b, c, and d are the elements of the matrix A:
  
  | a b |
  | c d |
  
  The adjugate matrix of a 2x2 matrix is calculated as follows:
  
  adj(A) = | d -b |
  | -c a |
  
  We can then calculate the inverse of the matrix on the left side of the equations, and use it to solve for x and y:
  
  | 3 2 |^-1 1 | 3 -2 |
  | 2 3 | ----- * | -2 3 | = (1/5) * | 3 -2 | = | 3/5 -2/5 |
  |-2 3 | |-2/5 3/5 |
  
  | 3/5 -2/5 | | x | | 20 |
  |-2/5 3/5 | * | y | = | 10 |
  
  We can then solve for x and y by multiplying the inverse matrix with the vector on the right side of the equations:
  
  | 3/5 -2/5 | | 20 |
  |-2/5 3/5 | * | 10 | = | 6 |
  | 7 |
  
  Therefore, the values of x and y are 6 and 7, respectively.
  
  Here is the complete Python program to solve this problem using linear algebra:
  
  Calculate the determinant of a 2x2 matrix
  def determinant(a, b, c, d):
  return a * d - b * c
  
  Calculate the adjugate matrix of a 2x2 matrix
  def adjugate(a, b, c, d):
  return [[d, -b], [-c, a]]
  
  Calculate the inverse of a 2x2 matrix
  def inverse(a, b, c, d):
  det = determinant(a, b, c, d)
  adj = adjugate(a, b, c, d)
  return [[adj[0][0] / det, adj[0][1] / det], [adj[1][0] / det, adj[1][1] / det]]
  
  Solve the system of linear equations
  def solve(a, b, c, d, e, f):
  inv = inverse(a, b, c, d)
  return [inv[0][0] * e

  Write an efficient, not brute force, program that solves the following problem: suppose we have two unknown quantities x and y. If three time x plus two times y is twenty, and 2 times x plus three time y is ten, what are x and y?

  One way to solve this problem efficiently is to use the method of elimination. We can set up a system of equations as follows:

  3x + 2y = 20
  2x + 3y = 10

  We can then multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3, to get:

  6x + 4y = 40
  6x + 9y = 30

  We can then subtract the second equation from the first equation, to get:

  -5y = 10
  y = -2

  We can then substitute this value of y into one of the original equations (for example, the first one), to get:

  3x + 2(-2) = 20
  3x - 4 = 20
  3x = 24
  x = 8

  Therefore, the values of x and y are x = 8 and y = -2.
