The coefficient matrix is build with its rows representing each equation, and its columns representing each variable.
So, you may write the matrix as
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}\text{x-coefficient, 1st equation}&\text{y-coefficient, 1st equation}\\\text{x-coefficient, 2nd equation}&\text{y-coefficient, 2nd equation} \end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%5Ctext%7Bx-coefficient%2C%201st%20equation%7D%26%5Ctext%7By-coefficient%2C%201st%20equation%7D%5C%5C%5Ctext%7Bx-coefficient%2C%202nd%20equation%7D%26%5Ctext%7By-coefficient%2C%202nd%20equation%7D%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20)
which means
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-3\\8&-3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D4%26-3%5C%5C8%26-3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20)
The determinant is computed subtracting diagonals:
![\left | \left[ \begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]\right | = ad-bc](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%20%7C%20%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Da%26b%5C%5Cc%26d%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cright%20%7C%20%3D%20ad-bc%20)
So, we have
![\left | \left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-3\\8&-3\end{array}\right] \right | = 4(-3) - 8(-3) = -4(-3) = 12](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%20%7C%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D4%26-3%5C%5C8%26-3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cright%20%7C%20%3D%204%28-3%29%20-%208%28-3%29%20%3D%20-4%28-3%29%20%3D%2012%20%20)
Answer:
19/3 or 6.33 continuing
Step-by-step explanation:
using pemdas, do the exponent first
6-2=4
then multiply by 4
4x4 is 16
add 3^2 to this, which = 9
so 16+9-6 is on top which equals 19, this is over 3
so 19/3
Answer:
70%
Step-by-step explanation:
Maths homework takes 1/6×150mins
=150/6=25 mins
science homework takes 20/100×150
=3000/100
=30mins
Language Arts homework uses 1/3×150
=150/3
=50 mins
percent of time left for Marsha's social studies homework=total time used / original time
=(25+30+50)mins
=105mins/150mins×100%
=0.7×100
=70%
75.99*0.0625=4.75 hope helps
