Use matrices to solve ths system. https://www.connexus.com/content/media/642756-1302012-33559-PM-1512522299.png

cannot see anything from the link!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Top line: 2x+3y=4 Bottom line: 5+8y=11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, you have matrix \[\left[\begin{matrix}2 & 3&4 \\ 5 & 8&11\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's where i get stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to take rref form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

row1 /2 you get 1 3/2 2 you have a new matrix 5 8 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from the new one, (-5)*row 1 + row 2 ---> row 2 you get a new matrix. 1 3/2 2 0 1/2 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, (-3) row 2 + row 1---> row1 2* row 2 ----> row 2 you have a very new matrix 1 0 -1 0 1 2 it means, x = -1 y = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that 's the process to get rref form. and you should know how to do that. This is the very basic step. if you take linear algebra , no way to step up if you don't know how to get rref by hand Yes, that's is final answer
