234 is 30% of 780.
I believe
y=mx+b
Where m is the slope
and b is the y-intercept
For this case we have the following system of equations:
5x + 3y = 17
-8x - 3y = 9
The solution to this system can be written in matrix form as:
Ax = b
Where, A is a matrix that is given by:
A = [5 3; -8 -3]
The determinant of this matrix 2 * 2 is given by:
lAl = (5) * (- 3) - (3) * (- 8)
lAl = -15 - (-24)
lAl = -15 + 24
lAl = 9
Answer:
The determinant for solving this linear system is:
lAl = 9
X is a variable to find it you need to isolate it(get it by itself)
