\(\textbf{1)}\) Use Cramer’s Rule to solve the following system of equations.
\(3x+4y=18\)
\(2x-y=1\)
The answer is \(x=2,y=3\)
\(\textbf{2)}\) \(x-4y=12\)
\(\hspace{11pt}x+3y=-2\)
The answer is \((4,-2)\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,x=\frac{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
12 & -4 \\
-2 & 3 \\
\end{array} }\right|}{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -4 \\
1 & 3 \\
\end{array} }\right|}=\frac{(12)(3)-(-4)(-2)}{(1)(3)-(-4)(1)}=\frac{36-8}{3+4}=\frac{28}{7}=4\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,y=\frac{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 12 \\
1 & -2 \\
\end{array} }\right|}{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -4 \\
1 & 3 \\
\end{array} }\right|}=\frac{(1)(-2)-(12)(1)}{(1)(3)-(-4)(1)}=\frac{-2-12}{3+4}=\frac{-14}{7}=-2\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,\text{The answer is } (4,-2)\)
\(\textbf{3)}\) \(2x+3y=11\)
\(\hspace{11pt}x+y=3\)
The answer is \((-2,5)\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,x=\frac{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
11 & 3 \\
3 & 1 \\
\end{array} }\right|}{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
2 & 3 \\
1 & 1 \\
\end{array} }\right|}=\frac{(11)(1)-(3)(3)}{(2)(1)-(3)(1)}=\frac{11-9}{2-3}=\frac{2}{-1}=-2\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,y=\frac{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
2 & 11 \\
1 & 3 \\
\end{array} }\right|}{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
2 & 3 \\
1 & 1 \\
\end{array} }\right|}=\frac{(2)(3)-(1)(11)}{(2)(1)-(3)(1)}=\frac{6-11}{2-3}=\frac{-5}{-1}=5\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,\text{The answer is } (-2,5)\)
\(\textbf{4)}\) \(x-y=-6\)
\(\hspace{11pt}5x+2y=12\)
The answer is \((0,6)\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,x=\frac{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
-6 & -1 \\
12 & 2 \\
\end{array} }\right|}{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -1 \\
5 & 2 \\
\end{array} }\right|}=\frac{(-6)(2)-(-1)(12)}{(1)(2)-(-1)(5)}=\frac{-12+12}{2+5}=\frac{0}{7}=0\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,y=\frac{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -6 \\
5 & 12 \\
\end{array} }\right|}{\left|{\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -1 \\
5 & 2 \\
\end{array} }\right|}=\frac{(1)(12)-(-6)(5)}{(1)(2)-(-1)(5)}=\frac{12+30}{2+5}=\frac{42}{7}=6\)
\(\,\,\,\,\,\text{The answer is } (0,6)\)
\(\textbf{5)}\) \(7x+4y=31\)
