Given system of linear equations have same coefficient matrix as
A=[2121]
We know that for a 2×2 matrix
X=[abcd]
,the inverse is given as
X1=1adbc[dbca]
Thus, for the given coefiicient matrix A, we have the inverse as
A1=12(1)(2)(1)[1122]=14[1122]
The given system of equations are:
2x-y=-3
2x+y=7
The matrix equivalent of the above system is:
[2121]×[xy]=[37]
AX=B
X=A1B [Pre-multiplying A1 on both sides]
Thus,
X=[xy]=14[1122]×[37]=14[420]=[15]
Thus
x=1 and y=5
