We want to use a matrix to solve
-8x - 8y = -16
6x - 9y = -108
Before solving, simplify the equations as follows:
Divide the first equation by -8 to obtain
x + y = 2 (1)
Divide the second equation by 3 to obtain
2x - 3y = -36 (2)
In matrix form, the equations are
The determinant of the matrix is
D = (1)(-3) - (1)(2) = -5
Use Cramer's Rule.
