How do you solve #1/2x+y=5# and #-x-2y=4# using matrices?
1 Answer
There are no solutions; the equations represent two parallel lines which do not intersect.
Explanation:
If you multiply the first equation by
I you try to handle this as a matrix problem:
using Cramer's Rule (determinants)
but division by
using Gauss-Jorden Method
both the
which is clearly impossible.
