Step-by-step explanation:
In the matrix, the first column represents the coefficient of x, the second column represents the coefficient of y and the third column is the constant value.
As the first row is (1 0 | 3), the equation is
1x + 0y = 3
x = 3
The second row is (0 1 | -6), so the second equation is
0x + 1y = -6
y = -6
It means that the system of equations is
x = 3
y = -6
Therefore, the system is consistent because it has a solution, the solution is (x, y) = (3, -6)
Answers:
What equation does the first row represent? x = 3
What equation does the second row represent? y = -6
A. The system is consistent. The solution is (3, -6)
