Problem to solve
Solve \[\frac{2x-1}{4}+\frac{x-2y}{3}=4+x\], \[\frac{x+y}{3}-[x-y]=-2y+1\]
Solution
STEP 1
Solve the following system:
{1/4 (2 x - 1) + 1/3 (-2 y + x) = x + 4
-x + y + (y + x)/3 = -2 y + 1
STEP 2
Express the system in standard form:
{-x/6 - (2 y)/3 = 17/4
-(2 x)/3 + (10 y)/3 = 1
STEP 3
Express the system in matrix form:
(-1/6 | -2/3
-2/3 | 10/3)(x
y) = (17/4
1)
STEP 4
Write the system in augmented matrix form and use Gaussian elimination:
(-1/6 | -2/3 | 17/4
-2/3 | 10/3 | 1)
STEP 5
Swap row 1 with row 2:
(-2/3 | 10/3 | 1
-1/6 | -2/3 | 17/4)
STEP 6
Subtract 1/4 × (row 1) from row 2:
(-2/3 | 10/3 | 1
0 | -3/2 | 4)
STEP 7
Multiply row 1 by 3:
(-2 | 10 | 3
0 | -3/2 | 4)
STEP 8
Multiply row 2 by 2:
(-2 | 10 | 3
0 | -3 | 8)
STEP 9
Divide row 2 by -3:
(-2 | 10 | 3
0 | 1 | -8/3)
STEP 10
Subtract 10 × (row 2) from row 1:
(-2 | 0 | 89/3
0 | 1 | -8/3)
STEP 11
Divide row 1 by -2:
(1 | 0 | -89/6
0 | 1 | -8/3)
STEP 12
Collect results:
Answer: | 
 | {x = -89/6
y = -8/3
