Show that each of the following systems of linear equations is consistent and also find their

6x + 4y = 2


9x + 6y = 3

The above system of equations can be written as


or AX = B


Where A = B = and X =


|A| = 36 – 36 = 0


So, A is singular, Now X will be consistence if (Adj A)xB = 0


C11 = (– 1)1 + 1 6 = 6


C12 = (– 1)1 + 2 9 = – 9


C21 = (– 1)2 + 1 4 = – 4


C22 = (– 1)2 + 2 6 = 6


Also, adj A =


=


(Adj A).B =


=


Thus, AX = B will be infinite solution,


Let y = k


Hence, 6x = 2 – 4k or 9x = 3 – 6k


X =


Hence, X = , Y = k
