Q. Solve using augmented matrices.\newlinex=8x = -8\newline9x10y=18-9x - 10y = -18\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Write Equations in Standard Form: First, let's write the system of equations in standard form. \newlinex=8x = -8 becomes 1x+0y=81x + 0y = -8\newline9x10y=18-9x - 10y = -18 stays the same.
  2. Create Augmented Matrix: Now, let's create the augmented matrix for the system.\newline[108 91018]\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & \vert & -8 \ -9 & -10 & \vert & -18 \end{bmatrix}
  3. Substitute and Solve for xx: We already have the value of xx, which is 8–8. So, we just need to use the second equation to find yy.\newlineSubstitute x=8x = –8 into 9x10y=18–9x − 10y = –18.\newline9(8)10y=18–9(–8) − 10y = –18\newline7210y=1872 − 10y = –18
  4. Solve for y: Now, let's solve for y.\newline7210y=1872 - 10y = -18\newline10y=1872-10y = -18 - 72\newline10y=90-10y = -90\newliney=9010y = \frac{-90}{-10}\newliney=9y = 9
