Question
Solve the following system using Cramer's rule.

\[ 
\begin{align*}
2x + 3y &= 12 \\
6x - y &= -4 
\end{align*}
\]

**Step 1 of 4**

Identify the 2x2 coefficient matrix for the system of equations. Find the value of the determinant.

When you have a system of two equations in the form:

\[
\begin{cases} 
ax + cy = k_1 \\
bx + dy = k_2 
\end{cases}
\]

the coefficient matrix determinant is written in the form \(\begin{vmatrix} a & c \\ b & d \end{vmatrix}\). 

In this case, the determinant is given by the following:

\[
\begin{vmatrix} 
\text{[Input box]} & \text{[Input box]} \\ 
\text{[Input box]} & \text{[Input box]} 
\end{vmatrix}
\]

The numerical value of the determinant is found by calculating \(ad - bc\).

\[
2(\text{[Input box]}) - 6(\text{[Input box]})
\]

\[
= -2 - \text{[Input box]}
\]

\[
= \text{[Input box]}
\]

The determinant, \(D\), is not equal to zero, so there is one real solution to the system.
