Chapter 6.6, Problem 43HP

To determine

the augmented matrix for the given equation.

Answer to Problem 43HP

The augmented matrix is $\left[\begin{array}{l}\text{ 6 -8 | -10}\\ \text{ -5 0 | -20 }\end{array}\right]$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\begin{array}{l}6x-\text{8y = -10}\\ \text{-5x = -20}\end{array}$

Calculation:

The augmented matrix is calculated below

  $\begin{array}{l}6x-\text{8y = -10}\\ \text{-5x = -20}\\ =\left[\begin{array}{l}\text{ 6 -8 | -10}\\ \text{ -5 0 | -20 }\end{array}\right]\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the augmented matrix is $\left[\begin{array}{l}\text{ 6 -8 | -10}\\ \text{ -5 0 | -20 }\end{array}\right]$ .
