Answer

(a) $ \begin{bmatrix} 4&-3\\3&-2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x\\y \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 10\\30 \end{bmatrix}$ (b) $(70,90)$

Work Step by Step

(a) Define the following matrices: $\begin{array} \\A= \\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 4&-3\\3&-2 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{array} \\X= \\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} x\\y \end{bmatrix}, \begin{array} \\B= \\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 10\\30 \end{bmatrix}$ We can define the matrix equation equivalent to the system as $AX=B$ $ \begin{bmatrix} 4&-3\\3&-2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x\\y \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 10\\30 \end{bmatrix}$ (b) Use the inverse formula, we can get $\begin{array} \\A^{-1}=\frac{1}{-8+9} \\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} -2&3\\-3&4 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{array} \\X=A&{-1}B= \\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} -2&3\\-3&4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 10\\30 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 70\\90 \end{bmatrix}$ Thus, the solution is $(70,90)$
