Answer:

Option D) is correct

That is x=2 , y=-5

Explanation:

Given that the
|A|=\left| \begin{array}{cc}4&-6\\ 8&-2\end{array}\right|, \left|A_x\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}38&-6\\ 28&-2\end{array}\right|, \left|A_y\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}4&38\\ 8&26\end{array}\right|

To find their determinants


|A|=\left| \begin{array}{cc}4&-6\\ 8&-2\end{array}\right|

=-8+48

=40

Therefore
|A|=40


|A_x|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}38&-6\\ 28&-2\end{array}\right|

=-76+156

=80

Therefore
|A_x|=80


|A_y|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}4&38\\ 8&26\end{array}\right|

=104-304

=-200

Therefore
|A_y|=-200

To find the values of x and y:


x=(|A_x|)/(|A|)\ \textrm{and}\ y=(|A_y|)/(|A|)


x=(80)/(40) and
y=(-200)/(40)

x=2 and y=-5

Option D) is correct

That is x=2 , y=-5
