Answer

Please see step-by-step.

Work Step by Step

$D_{x}$ and $D_{y}$ are determinants used in Cramer's rule for solving linear systems. If we define $D$ as the determinant of the coefficient matrix, then we obtain $D_{x}$ by replacing the 1st column in D with the constants column, and $D_{y}$ by replacing the 2nd column in D with the constants column.
