that matrix is used to find Dy not Dx

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

notice you replaced the second column (the y column) with the right side

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \begin{array}{ccllll} &D_x\\ \begin{cases} 4x + 2y = 5\\ x - 3y = 7 \end{cases}\implies \begin{bmatrix} 4&2&|&{\color{brown}{ 5}}\\ 1&-3&|&{\color{brown}{ 7}} \end{bmatrix}\qquad thus\to & \begin{bmatrix} {\color{brown}{ \square }}&2\\ {\color{brown}{ \square }}&3 \end{bmatrix} \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm missing a minus there so\(\large \begin{array}{ccllll} &D_x\\ \begin{cases} 4x + 2y = 5\\ x - 3y = 7 \end{cases}\implies \begin{bmatrix} 4&2&|&{\color{brown}{ 5}}\\ 1&-3&|&{\color{brown}{ 7}} \end{bmatrix}\qquad thus\to & \begin{bmatrix} {\color{brown}{ \square }}&2\\ {\color{brown}{ \square }}&-3 \end{bmatrix} \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

then surely you know how to get the determinant

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm the \(\bf D_y?\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \begin{array}{ccllll} &D_y\\ \begin{cases} 4x + 2y = 5\\ x - 3y = 7 \end{cases}\implies \begin{bmatrix} 4&2&|&{\color{brown}{ 5}}\\ 1&-3&|&{\color{brown}{ 7}} \end{bmatrix}\qquad thus\to & \begin{bmatrix} 4&{\color{brown}{ 5 }}\\ 1&{\color{brown}{ 7 }} \end{bmatrix} \end{array}\) so you're asked for the determinant of that matrix then

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap,.... that's the coefficient matrix for "y" so you'd just need to get the determinant of that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm hmm

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

heheh I see I got the wrong.... value on the equal this a different system of equations but anyhow yieap your'e correct for 2x + 3y = 4 5x - y = 8 the \(\bf D_y\) is -4 :)
