To determine

To calculate: The solution of the linear equation by using matrices:

5x2y=442x+5y=6

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution:

The solution of the linear equation 5x2y=442x+5y=6 is (8,2)_.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The set of linear equation:

5x2y=442x+5y=6

Formula Used:

Steps to convert the linear equation of two variable in matrix form:

Step 1: A set of linear equation should be written in the form of matrix where x coefficients should be written in first column, y coefficients should be written in second column and constants must be written in third column. Separate constants from x and y coefficients by dash line.

Step 2: The main goal is to transform the above matrix into below form:

[abc0de]

Step 3: verified the results.

Calculation:

Consider the linear equation is,

5x2y=442x+5y=6

The above linear equation in matrix form can be written as,

[5244256]

Multiply row 1 by 15,

New row 1=15(Row 1 from step above)=15(5244)=(125445)

The set of linear equations become,

[125445256]

Add 2 times the row 1 to the row 2,

New row 2=2(125445)+(256)=(245885)+(256)=(0295585)

The set of linear equations become,

[1254450295585]

Multiply row 2 by 529,

New row 2=529(Row 2 from step above)=529(0295585)=(012)

The set of linear equations become,

[125445012]

Add 25 times the row 2 to the row 1,

New row 1=25(012)+(125445)=(02545)+(125445)=(108)

The set of linear equations become,

[108012]

Reinsert the variables to have a set of linear equations,

x=8y=2

The solution is (8,2).

To check the answer:

Now, substitute the value x=8,y=2 in the equation 5x2y=44

Therefore,

5x2y=445(8)2(2)=?44404=?4444=?44

Solution verified.

Hence, the solution of the linear equation 5x2y=442x+5y=6 is (8,2).
