Math Problem Statement

use cramers rule

Use Cramer's Rule to solve the system of linear equations: -3x + y = 4 and 2x + y = -6.

Solution

To solve the given system of linear equations using Cramer's Rule, follow these steps:

The system of equations is:

-3x + y = 4 \tag{1} 2x + y = -6 \tag{2}

Step 1: Write the equations in standard form

The equations are already in the standard form: Ax=BAx = B where:

[ A = \begin{bmatrix
