Work Step by Step

We are given: $Ax_i=b_i$ Hence, $x_1=A^{-1}b_1=-\frac{1}{39} \begin{bmatrix} -2 & -5\\ 7 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 2 \end{bmatrix}=-\frac{1}{39}\begin{bmatrix} -12\\ -3 \end{bmatrix}=\frac{1}{13}\begin{bmatrix} 4\\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $x_2=A^{-1}b_2=-\frac{1}{39} \begin{bmatrix} -2 & -5\\ 7 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 4\\ 3 \end{bmatrix}=-\frac{1}{39}\begin{bmatrix} -23\\ -22 \end{bmatrix}=\frac{1}{39}\begin{bmatrix} 23\\ 22 \end{bmatrix}$ $x_3=A^{-1}b_3=-\frac{1}{39} \begin{bmatrix} -2 & -5\\ 7 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} -2\\ 5 \end{bmatrix}=-\frac{1}{39}\begin{bmatrix} -21\\ 24 \end{bmatrix}=\frac{1}{13}\begin{bmatrix} 7\\ -8 \end{bmatrix}$
