An augmented matrix for the system is [2,6,12;1,1,2] where we will call the first two columns A and the third b. A is linearly independent since it is row equivalent to the identity matrix, which tells us that for any b there will be a unique solution (x,y).
59 divided by 7 is 8 with 3 remaning but all must be included so you have anothr crate for the remaining the and sice 8+1=9. Velma needs 9 crates. Hope this Helps!!
