Question

X+2y=5

X-3y=7

What is the second row of entries for the system determinant?

A)1,-3
B)2,-3
C)5,7

Answer 1

A)1,-3

Explanation:

X+2y=5

X-3y=7

To write a determinant we take the coefficient of the variables

To get first row we take the coefficients of x and y from the equation x+2y = 5

x or 1x are same

1x+2y = 5

The coefficient of x is 1 and coefficient of y is 2

So first row is 1 , 2

We do the same for second row

To get second row we take the coefficients of x and y from the equation x-3y = 7

1x - 3y = 7

The coefficient of x is 1 and coefficient of y is -3

So second row is 1, -3
