This problem we're given the system of equations of 3x plus 2y equals minus 4 and minus 2x plus y equals 5.
00:08
Our goal is to solve for values for x and y using kramer's rule, which uses matrices.
00:16
So we'll need to set three different matrices here.
00:19
I'm going to have d represent the determinant of the first matrix being made of the coefficients of x and y.
00:27
So in the first equation, that's 3x and 2y, so 3 and 2, then minus 2x and 1y.
00:37
The term in the second matrix is dx.
00:42
Second matrix is the same as d, except now the first column will be replaced by the answer column, answer column being minus 4 and 5 in this case.
00:52
So minus 4 and 5, you would keep the second column 2 and 1, and then d1.
01:01
Why is the determinant of the third matrix being the same as d except the second column is now replaced by the answer column.
01:11
So we keep the first column of three minus two.
01:14
The second column now becomes minus four and five.
01:19
So let's find these determinants.
01:23
So d, the determinant equals three times one minus two times minus two.
01:31
Where d equals 3 minus minus 2.
01:37
So the subtraction of a negative number is addition...
