Solve Using an Inverse Matrix 20=8y+11x , 11x+8y=79
Problem
Solution
Rearrange the equations into standard form
a*x+b*y=c to align the variables.
Represent the system as a matrix equation
A*X=B whereA is the coefficient matrix,X is the variable matrix, andB is the constant matrix.
Calculate the determinant of matrix
A denoted asdet(A) using the formulaa*d−b*c
Determine the existence of an inverse matrix. Since the determinant is zero, the matrix
A is singular and does not have an inverse.
Analyze the consistency of the system. The equations
11*x+8*y=20 and11*x+8*y=79 represent parallel lines because they have the same coefficients but different constants.
