Problem to solve
Solve \[-5x+2y=-3+2x\], \[4x-2y+3=7-4x\]
Solution
STEP 1
Solve the following system:
{2 y - 5 x = 2 x - 3
-2 y + 4 x + 3 = -4 x + 7
STEP 2
Express the system in standard form:
{2 y - 7 x = -3
-2 y + 8 x = 4
STEP 3
Express the system in matrix form:
(-7 | 2
8 | -2)(x
y) = (-3
4)
STEP 4
Solve the system with Cramer's rule:
x = -3 | 2
4 | -2/-7 | 2
8 | -2 and y = -7 | -3
8 | 4/-7 | 2
8 | -2
STEP 5
Evaluate the determinant -7 | 2
8 | -2 = -2:
x = -3 | 2
4 | -2/(-2) and y = -7 | -3
8 | 4/(-2)
STEP 6
Simplify -3 | 2
4 | -2/(-2):
x = -1/2 -3 | 2
4 | -2 and y = -7 | -3
8 | 4/(-2)
STEP 7
Simplify -7 | -3
8 | 4/(-2):
x = -(-3 | 2
4 | -2)/2 and y = -1/2 -7 | -3
8 | 4
STEP 8
Evaluate the determinant -3 | 2
4 | -2 = -2:
x = (-1)/2×-2 and y = -(-7 | -3
8 | 4)/2
STEP 9
(-1)/2 (-2) = 1:
x = 1 and y = -(-7 | -3
8 | 4)/2
STEP 10
Evaluate the determinant -7 | -3
8 | 4 = -4:
x = 1 and y = (-1)/2×-4
STEP 11
(-1)/2 (-4) = 2:
Answer: | 
 | x = 1 and y = 2
