Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Formula used:
Inverse of a
The value of a second order determinant is the difference of the products of the products of the two diagonals.
Steps to solve the equations are:-
Step1. Find the inverse of the coefficient matrix.
Step 2. Multiple each side of the matrix equation by the inverse matrix.
Calculation:
Step 1.
Since the determinant does not equal to 0,
Step 2.
Step3.
Or
Hence, about 4357 people owned digital audio players last year.
