Q. Solve the system of linear equations using6x+2y=14augmented matrices.2x−y=13
Write Equations as Matrix: Write the system of equations as an augmented matrix.[62∣142−1∣13]
Get Leading 1 in First Row: Use row operations to get a leading 1 in the first row, first column.Divide the first row by 6.[11/3∣7/32−1∣13]
Eliminate x-term in Second Row: Subtract 2 times the first row from the second row to eliminate the x-term in the second row.[131∣370−35∣311]
Get Leading 1 in Second Column: Multiply the second row by −53 to get a leading 1 in the second row, second column.[131∣3701∣−511]
Eliminate 0 Above Leading 1: Subtract 31 times the second row from the first row to get a 0 above the leading 1 in the second row.[10∣52601∣−511]
Read Solutions: Read off the solutions from the augmented matrix.x=526y=−511
