Answer: This system of equations can be represented in matrix form as
| -1 | 650 | 175 |
| 75 | -120 | -25080 |
This matrix is called the augmented matrix of the system of equations. The first and second column of this matrix represent the coefficients of the variables x and y, respectively, in the system of equations. The third column represents the constant terms of the equations.
You can use a method such as Gaussian elimination or Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve the system of equations.
The Gaussian elimination method, you would use elementary row operations to transform the matrix into an echelon form or reduced row echelon form. Then you can back-substitute the variables with their values.
Also, the Gaussian-Jordan elimination is similar to Gaussian elimination, but it keeps continuing the elimination process until the matrix becomes an Identity matrix(A matrix with 1 on diagonal and 0 everywhere else) The values on the diagonal of the matrix will give you the solution of the variables.
