Answer

$\{(-6,7)\}$

Work Step by Step

Use Cramer's rule, we have: 1. $D=\begin{vmatrix} 2 & -3 \\ 4 & 5 \end{vmatrix}=(2)(5)-(-3)(4)=22$ 2. $D_x=\begin{vmatrix} -33 & -3 \\ 11 & 5 \end{vmatrix}=(-33)(5)-(-3)(11)=-132$ 3. $D_y=\begin{vmatrix} 2 & -33 \\ 4 & 11 \end{vmatrix}=(2)(11)-(-33)(4)=154$ 4. $x=\frac{D_x}{D}=\frac{-132}{22}=-6$ and $y=\frac{D_y}{D}=\frac{154}{22}=7$ 5. Thus the solution set is $\{(-6,7)\}$
