Answer:</h3>
(x, y) = (7, -5)
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
It generally works well to follow directions.
The matrix of coefficients is ...
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&4\\-5&3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D2%264%5C%5C-5%263%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Its inverse is the transpose of the cofactor matrix, divided by the determinant. That is ...
![\dfrac{1}{26}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-4\\5&2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B26%7D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D3%26-4%5C%5C5%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
So the solution is the product of this and the vector of constants [-6, -50]. That product is ...
... x = (3·(-6) +(-4)(-50))/26 = 7
... y = (5·(-6) +2·(-50))/26 = -5
The solution using inverse matrices is ...
... (x, y) = (7, -5)

Answer:
#16 = (0, -10)
#17 = (-18, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
U wouldn't use the distance formula, you would need to use the Midpoint Formula, which is, M = (x1 + x2 / 2, y1 + y2 / 2). For #16, you plug in (4, -5) for M and 8 for x1 and 0 for y1, so the equation should look like this : (4, -5) = (8 + x2 / 2, 0 + y2 / 2). Then separate the equation to make it easier: 4 = 8 + x2 / 2 and the second equation : -5 = 0 + y2 / 2. So let's do the 1st equation, the first step would be to multiply the 2 to both sides. So the equation should look like this, 8 = 8 + x. Then subtract the 8 from both sides and you get 0 as your x. Now moving on to the 2nd equation, you multiply the 2 to both sides, and you get, -10 = 0 + y, as your equation, but since 0 won't affect it, -10 should be your y. Then just use these steps to solve #17, and your answer should be (-18, -3).
