Answer:

9 11

-14 5

Explanation:

D is doing to be a 2 by 2 matrix

a b -1 -15 8 -4

c d + 0 7 = -14 12

The corresponding terms get added together to equal the corresponding term on the right.

a + -1 = 8

Add 1 on each side

a -1 +1 = 8 +1

a = 9

b + -15 =-4

Add 15 to each side

b-15+15 = -4+15

b =11

c+0 = -14

c = -14

d +7 = 12

Subtract 7 from both sides

d+7-7 = 12-7

d = 5

The matrix is

9 11

-14 5
