8x-y=4
x+3y=17
---
copy and paste the above linear system in standard form into this matrix-method solver:

---
solution by matrix-method:
x = 1.16
y = 5.28
---
system matrix
8 -1
1 3
---
inverse of system matrix
0.12 0.04
-0.04 0.32
---
determinant of system matrix = 25
---
now by substitution-method:
---
8x - y = 4
y = 8x - 4
---
x + 3y = 17
x + 3(8x - 4) = 17
x + 24x - 12 = 17
25x = 29
---
x = 29/25
x = 1.16
---
y = 8x - 4
y = 8*(29/25) - 4
---
y = 5.28
---
solution by substitution-method:
x = 1.16
y = 5.28
---
the two methods agree.
