| Question 194530:  Solve using Cramer's Rule
 2x-7y=-4
 x-y=3
 Answer by invaderjmg(2)
      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! for 2 variable system: A1x + B1y = C
 A2x + B2y = C
 we define:(use this formulas in 2 var. below for solving the determinants first)
 D =
 A1   B1
 A2   B2
 
 Dx =
 C1   B1
 C2   B2
 
 Dy =
 A1   C1
 A2   C2
 Then: (using cramers rule for final step)
 X = DX/D
 Y = DY/D
 given(2 Variables):
 2x - 7y = -4
 x  -  y = 3
 solution: (just follow the formulas above:)
 
 D =
 2   -7
 1   -1
 
 Dx =
 -4   -7
 3   -1
 
 Dy =
 2  -4
 1   3
 now calculate each of these determinants:
 D = 2(-1) - (-7)(1) = -2 + 7 = 5
 Dx = (-4)(-1) - 3(-7) = 4 + 21 = 25
 Dy = 3(2) - (-4)1 = 6 + 4 = 10
 so now i already find each of their determinants... so we can now use the cramers rule......(its very simple by using the formula above)
 X = Dx/D = 25/5 = 5
 Y = Dy/D = 10/5 = 2
 congratulations...!!! youve now already solved the x & y's !!!! Invader Rulezzz!
