Solution

`[(2, -1),(3, 2)][(x),(y)] = [(8),(-2)]`

AX = B

X = `"A"^-1"B"`

A = `[(2, -1),(3, 2)]`

|A| = 4 + 3

= 7 ≠  0.A−1 exists.

adj A = `[(2, 1),(-3, 2)]`

A−1 = `1/|"A"|` adj A

A−1 = `1/7[(2, 1),(-3, 2)]`

X = `"A"^-1"B"`

X = `1/7 [(2, 1),(-3, 2)][(8),(-2)]`

`[(x),(y)] = 1/7[(16 - 2),(-24 - 4)]`

`[(x),(y)] = 1/7[(14),(-28)]`

= `[(2),(-4)]`

x = 2, y = – 4
