Answer

$\left|\begin{array}{ll}{5}&{3}\\{-3}&{-4}\end{array}\right|$

Work Step by Step

Cramer's rule states that $a x+b y=p \\ cx+dy=q$ $\triangle=\left|\begin{array}{ll}{a}&{b}\\{c}&{d}\end{array}\right|, \triangle_{1}=\left|\begin{array}{ll}{p}&{b}\\{q}&{d}\end{array}\right|, \triangle_{2}=\left|\begin{array}{ll}{a}&{p}\\{c}&{q}\end{array}\right|$; $ x=\dfrac{\triangle_1}{\triangle}; y=\dfrac{\triangle_2}{\triangle} (D\displaystyle \neq 0)$ We are given the system of equations: $2x+3y=5 \\x-4y=-3$ So, we can write: $\triangle=\left|\begin{array}{ll}{2}&{3}\\{1}&{-4}\end{array}\right|$ and $x=\dfrac{\triangle_1}{\triangle}=\left|\begin{array}{ll}{5}&{3}\\{-3}&{-4}\end{array}\right|$ So, our missing expression is: $\left|\begin{array}{ll}{5}&{3}\\{-3}&{-4}\end{array}\right|$
