Answer

\[\left\{ {\left( { - 4,2} \right)} \right\}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {3x + 7y = 2} \\ {5x - y = - 22} \end{array}} \right. \hfill \\ {\text{Given the system}} \hfill \\ \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a_1}x + {b_1}y = {c_1}} \\ {{a_2}x + {b_2}y = {c_2}} \end{array}} \right. \hfill \\ D = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a_1}}&{{b_1}} \\ {{a_2}}&{{b_2}} \end{array}} \right|,\,\,\,{D_x} = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{c_1}}&{{b_1}} \\ {{c_2}}&{{b_2}} \end{array}} \right|,\,\,{D_y} = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a_1}}&{{c_1}} \\ {{a_2}}&{{c_2}} \end{array}} \right| \hfill \\ {\text{First find }}D,{\text{ If }}D \ne 0,\,{\text{ then find }}{D_x}{\text{ and }}{D_y} \hfill \\ D = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&7 \\ 5&{ - 1} \end{array}} \right| = - 3 - 35 = - 38 \hfill \\ {D_x} = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&7 \\ { - 22}&{ - 1} \end{array}} \right| = - 2 + 154 = 152 \hfill \\ {D_y} = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2 \\ 5&{ - 22} \end{array}} \right| = - 66 - 10 = - 76 \hfill \\ {\text{Using the Cramer's rule}} \hfill \\ x = \frac{{{D_x}}}{D} = \frac{{152}}{{ - 38}} = - 4,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,y = \frac{{{D_y}}}{D} = \frac{{ - 76}}{{ - 38}} = 2 \hfill \\ {\text{The solution set is}} \hfill \\ \left\{ {\left( { - 4,2} \right)} \right\} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
