Question 341500
Use determinants to determine the number of solutions for each of the following systems.Do Not solve the systems. 
A)3x-y= -6 
2x= 3y+2
--------------------------
Rearrange:
3x-y = -6
2x-3y= 2
---
Coefficient determinant: 3*-3-(-1*2) = -9+2 = -7
The x-determinant: -6*-3-(-1*2) = 18+6 = 24
The y-determinant: 3*2-(-6*2) = 6+12 = 18 
-----------
Ans: one solution
=====================================

B)
3x-y=7
6x-2y=10
--------------------------
Coefficient determinant: 3*-2-(-1*6) = -6+6 = 0
Ans: no solution
============================
