Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{rr} 2 & 1\\ -1 & 0 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} x\\ y \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} 7\\ 9 \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

Define matrices A is the coefficient matrix (left-hand sides of the equations) X is the column matrix consisting of the unknowns , B is the column matrix consisting of the right-hand sides of the equations $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & 1\\ -1 & 0 \end{array}\right],\quad X=\left[\begin{array}{l} x\\ y \end{array}\right] \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{l} 7\\ 9 \end{array}\right]$ The given system of linear equations translates to AX=B $\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & 1\\ -1 & 0 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} x\\ y \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} 7\\ 9 \end{array}\right]$
