The system of equations are .
To write the augmented matrix,
\Place the coefficients of the equations and the constant terms into matrix.
\.
\
To make the first element in the first () row a 1, multiply the first row (
) by
.
(The result is placed in row 1)
\
To make the first element in the second () row a 0, multiply the first row (
) by negative 2 and add the result to row 2 (
).
(The result is placed in row 2)
To make the second element in the second () row a 1, multiply the second (
) row by
.
(The result is placed in row 2)
To make the second element in the first () row a 0, multiply the second row (
) by
and add the result to row 1(
).
(The result is placed in row 1)
The first row will give you the solution for .
The second row will give you the solution for .
The solution is .
The option A is correct answer.
