Q. Solve using augmented matrices.y=109x+10y=10(_____, _____)
Write Equations as Matrix: Write the system of equations as an augmented matrix. [1amp;0amp;109amp;10amp;10]
Modify Second Equation: Since the first equation is already solved for y, we can use it to modify the second equation.Subtract 10 times the first row from the second row to eliminate the y-term.New second row: [9,10,10]−10×[1,0,10]=[9,10,10]−[10,0,100]=[−1,10,−90]
Replace Second Row: Replace the second row with the new values.The augmented matrix now looks like this:\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\(\newline1 & 0 & 10 (\newline\)-1 & 10 & -90\end{array}\right]\)
Add First Row: Add the first row to the second row to get the x-term alone.New second row: [\(-1, 10, −90\] + [\(1, 0, 10\] = [\(0, 10, −80\]
Divide Second Row: Divide the second row by 10 to solve for x. New second row: [0,10,−80]/10=[0,1,−8]
Final Solution: Now we have the second equation in the form of x=−8. So the solution to the system is (x,y)=(−8,10).
