Problem to solve
Solve \[-\frac{2[x-y]}{5}+\frac{2x-y}{2}=-1\], \[4[2x+3]-\frac{3x-4y}{2}=5\]
Solution
STEP 1
Solve the following system:
{1/2 (-y + 2 x) - 2/5 (-y + x) = -1
4 (2 x + 3) + 1/2 (4 y - 3 x) = 5
STEP 2
Express the system in standard form:
{(3 x)/5 - y/10 = -1
(13 x)/2 + 2 y = -7
STEP 3
Express the system in matrix form:
(3/5 | -1/10
13/2 | 2)(x
y) = (-1
-7)
STEP 4
Write the system in augmented matrix form and use Gaussian elimination:
(3/5 | -1/10 | -1
13/2 | 2 | -7)
STEP 5
Swap row 1 with row 2:
(13/2 | 2 | -7
3/5 | -1/10 | -1)
STEP 6
Subtract 6/65 × (row 1) from row 2:
(13/2 | 2 | -7
0 | -37/130 | -23/65)
STEP 7
Multiply row 1 by 2:
(13 | 4 | -14
0 | -37/130 | -23/65)
STEP 8
Multiply row 2 by -130:
(13 | 4 | -14
0 | 37 | 46)
STEP 9
Divide row 2 by 37:
(13 | 4 | -14
0 | 1 | 46/37)
STEP 10
Subtract 4 × (row 2) from row 1:
(13 | 0 | -702/37
0 | 1 | 46/37)
STEP 11
Divide row 1 by 13:
(1 | 0 | -54/37
0 | 1 | 46/37)
STEP 12
Collect results:
Answer: | 
 | {x = -54/37
y = 46/37
