Using the augmented matrices to solve the following 2X2 systems of equations. Final answer must be given in matrix form.
Problem to solve: -5x + 7y =9
x + 10y = 21
-----------------------
1...10...21
-5...7....9
------------------
Multiply 1st row by 5 and add to 2nd row to get:
-------
1...10...21
0...57..114
------------
Divide thru 2nd by 57 to get
1...10...21
0....1....2
---------------
Multiply 2nd row by 10 and subtract from 1st row to get:
1....0....1
0....1....2
===============
Solution:
x = 1 ; y = 2
====================
