Question

What is the set up for the coefficient determinant (D) in the following system?

4x – 3y = 16
3x + 7y = –25

Answer 2

the coefficient determinant is just the determinant of the matrix that is formed from all the coefficients you find on the left side

Answer 3

Do you add or multiply the coefficients from the left to equal the determinant of the matrix?

Answer 4

just write them down into matrix form

Answer 5

the coefficients for 4x – 3y are 4 and -3

they form the first row of the matrix
