Question 278155: hello
how would i solve this linear system using the cramers rule?
4x-7y-7z= -26
3x-7y-9z=-26
-9x-5y-2z= -51
this is what i have done but it seems wrong
i get that d = -145
dx = -1939/ -145
dy = 1175/-145
dz = -1428/-145
this answers seem to work only with the first equation.

Question 279605: My homework is to graph systems of inequalities. The problem I'm having trouble with is:
x-3y>(or equal to)-7
5x+y<(or equal to)13
x+6y>(or equal to)-9
3x-2y>(or equal to)-7
I have successfully graphed the first two, but I cannot figure out the third or last one yet. I graphed what I thought the third one looked like, but it didn't make any sense to the problem. I set the y-intercept at -1 1/3 with a slope of -9/6 which reduces to -3/2.
