Q. Solve using augmented matrices.x=−8−9x−10y=−18(_____, _____)
Write Equations in Standard Form: First, let's write the system of equations in standard form. x=−8 becomes 1x+0y=−8−9x−10y=−18 stays the same.
Create Augmented Matrix: Now, let's create the augmented matrix for the system.[10∣−8−9−10∣−18]
Substitute and Solve for x: We already have the value of x, which is –8. So, we just need to use the second equation to find y.Substitute x=–8 into –9x−10y=–18.–9(–8)−10y=–1872−10y=–18
Solve for y: Now, let's solve for y.72−10y=−18−10y=−18−72−10y=−90y=−10−90y=9
