Please help me i have a brain fart i forgot

First your going to want to make either the x or the y have the same number in both equations. The easiest way to do that in this equation is by multiplying all of the bottom equation by 3. Then you subtract the equation to cancel the y variable and leave only the x. Once you’ve found x, put it back into either of the original equations to find y. Hope this helps :)

I am somehow confused with the given matrix. Because usually, when the system of equations is given as:
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f
the matrix would be written in this manner:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b&c\\d&e&f\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Da%26b%26c%5C%5Cd%26e%26f%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Let me just assume that the arrangement of the given corresponds to this system of equations:
4x + 8y = 0
2x + 5y = 6
So you write it as
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\2&5&6\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%268%260%5C%5C2%265%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
In order to solve this, the matrix should look like this where x and y are the answers
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&x\\0&1&y\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%26x%5C%5C0%261%26y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
So, the first thing to do is apply this pattern: Row 2 = Row 1 - 2*Row 2. The result will be
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%268%260%5C%5C0%26-2%26-12%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Next, Row 1 = (Row 1/4) + R2:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-12\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%26-12%5C%5C0%26-2%26-12%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Lastly, Row 2 = Row 2 / -2:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-12\\0&1&6\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%260%26-12%5C%5C0%261%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Thus, the answer is x=-12 and y=6.
