Question

Need a solution for this equation :)

Answer 1

(x, y) = (4, 6)

Explanation:

The fractions can be eliminated from the equations by multiplying both of them by 12:

9x -10y = -24

-x +2y = 8

Cramer's Rule solves these using three determinants. One is of the matrix of coefficients. One is of that matrix where x-coefficients are replaced by the constants. The remaining one is of the coefficient matrix where y-coefficients are replaced by the constants.

If we call the determinants d1, d2, d3, then the solutions are ...

x = d2/d1

y = d3/d1

__

`d1=\left|\begin{array}{cc}9&-10\\-1&2\end{array}\right|=18-10=8\\\\d2=\left|\begin{array}{cc}-24&-10\\8&2\end{array}\right|=-48+80=32\\\\d3=\left|\begin{array}{cc}9&-24\\-1&8\end{array}\right|=72-24=48\\\\x=(32)/(8)=4\\\\y=(48)/(8)=6`

The solution is (x, y) = (4, 6).
