Answer:

x = 26 , y = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 144 (1)

2x + 5y = 217 (2)

3x + 2y = 144

(divide the equation by 3)

x + (2/3)y = 48

x = 48 - (2/3)y

Plug into (2)

2[48 - (2/3)y] + 5y = 217

96 - (4/3)y + 5y = 217

11y/3 = 217 - 96

11y/3 = 121

y = 121×3/11

y = 33

x = 48 - (2/3)y

x = 48 - (2/3)(33)

x = 48 - 22

x = 26

Use Cramers Rule to solve the system <br> 2x - 3y = 11<br> -6x + 8y = 34
Nastasia [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

2x - 3y = 11

-6x + 8y = 34

find : the solutions of the system by using Cramers Rule.

solutions:

in the matrix 2x2 form =>

[ 2 -3] [x] [11]

=

[-6 8] [ y] [34]

D =

| 2 -3 |

|-6 8 |

= 8×2 - (-3) (-6)

= 16-18 = -2

Dx = | 11 -3 |

| 34 8 |

= 11×8 - (-3) (34)

= 88 + 102

= 190

Dy = | 2 11 |

|-6 34 |

= 2×34 - (-6) (11)

= 68 + 66

= 134

x = Dx/D = 190/-2 = -95

y = Dy/D = 134/-2 = -67

the solutions = {-95, -67}
