To calculate: The solution of the linear equation by using matrices:
Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution:
The solution of the linear equation
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The set of linear equation:
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:
Step 3: verified the results.
Calculation:
Consider the linear equation is,
The above linear equation in matrix form can be written as,
Multiply row 1 by
The set of linear equations become,
Add
The set of linear equations become,
Multiply row 2 by
The set of linear equations become,
Add
The set of linear equations become,
Reinsert the variables to have a set of linear equations,
The solution is
To check the answer:
Now, substitute the value
Therefore,
Solution verified.

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
