SOLUTION: I need verification on my answer to solving x, y using inverse matrix. I am getting a determenant of 0 but I believe that x = 0 and y = -5.
2y - 3x + 10 = 0
4y = 6x - 20

Question 739152: I need verification on my answer to solving x, y using inverse matrix. I am getting a determenant of 0 but I believe that x = 0 and y = -5.
2y - 3x + 10 = 0
4y = 6x - 20
I am putting the equations in order:
-3x + 2y = -10
-6x + 4y = - 20 Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! These two equations are not independent--the 2nd equation is obtained by multiplying the 1st by 2
There are infinitely many solutions, since we have one equation and two unknowns.
For example, if x=0 -> y=-5 ; if x=2 -> y=-2, etc.
