Q. Solve using augmented matrices.−7x−7y=14x=−8(_,_)
Write Augmented Matrix: First, let's write the system of equations as an augmented matrix.[−7amp;−7amp;∣amp;141amp;0amp;∣amp;−8]
Solve Matrix: Now, we need to solve the matrix. Since the second equation is already solved for x, we can use it to eliminate the x from the first equation.Multiply the second row by 7 and add it to the first row.[−7amp;−7∣amp;14]+[7×1amp;7×0∣amp;7×−8]=[0amp;−7∣amp;−42]
Solve for y: Next, divide the first row by −7 to solve for y.0amp;−7amp;∣amp;−42 / −70amp;1amp;∣amp;6Now we have y=6.
Find Solution: We already have x from the second equation, x=−8. So the solution is (−8,6).
