Solve system of linear equations, using matrix method.
5x + 2y = 4
7x + 3y = 5
The given system of equations is:
5x + 2y = 4
7x + 3y = 5
The given system of equations can be written in the form of AX = B, where
Now |A| = 3(5)-2(7) = 1 ≠ 0
∴ A is a non-singular matrix and hence A-1 exists.
Now
So
And
So
Hence x = 2 and y = -3.
