Q. Solve using augmented matrices.−7x−7y=14x=−8(_,_)
Write Augmented Matrix: First, let's write the system of equations as an augmented matrix.[−7−7∣1410∣−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.[−7−7∣14]+[7×17×0∣7×−8]=[0−7∣−42]
Solve for y: Next, divide the first row by −7 to solve for y.0−7∣−42 / −701∣6Now we have y=6.
Find Solution: We already have x from the second equation, x=−8. So the solution is (−8,6).
