Answer:
Multiply row 1 by 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The augmented matrix of the system of linear equation is described below:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}2&1&-1&-8\\0&2&3&-6\\-\frac{1}{2} &1&1&-4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D2%261%26-1%26-8%5C%5C0%262%263%26-6%5C%5C-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%261%261%26-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Where 
, if we need to create 
, we need to multiply row 1 by , that is to say:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&\frac{1}{2} &-\frac{1}{2} &-4\\0&2&3&-6\\-\frac{1}{2} &1&1&-4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%26-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%26-4%5C%5C0%262%263%26-6%5C%5C-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%261%261%26-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Hence, the correct answer is: Multiply row 1 by .
It would be the second graph since the coefficient is negative
We can solve this using substitution.
because x-y=2.5
x=y+2.5
Now substitute x into other equation.
2(y+2.5)^2-2y=125
2y^2+10y+12.5-2y=125
2y^2+8y-112.5=0
Now comes the ugly part
y=-4+-sqrt(16+900)
y=-4+-sqrt916
y=-4+-2sqrt229
x=-1.5+-2sqrt229
Answer: the value of a is less than b because its to the left
