Solving Simultaneous equation using matrix method

Solving Simultaneous equation  using matrix  Method Question: Find the values of  x and y in the equations below 3 x + 2 y = 6 5 x − y = 8 Using matrix method Put the equations in standard form and then use matrices to solve the system of equations. 3 x + 2 y = 6 , 5 x − y = 8 Write the equations in matrix form ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ( x y ​ ) = ( 6 8 ​ ) Left multiply the equation by the inverse matrix of  ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) . i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ( x y ​ ) = i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 6 8 ​ ) The product of a matrix and its inverse is the identity matrix ( 1 0 ​ 0 1 ​ ) ( x y ​ ) = i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 6 8 ​ ) Multiply the matrices on the left hand side of the equal sign. ( x y ​ ) = i n v e r s e ( ( 3 5 ​ 2 − 1 ​ ) ) ( 6 8 ​ ) For the  2 × 2  matrix  ( a c ​ b d ​ ) , the inverse matrix is  ( a d − b c d ​ a d − b c − c ​ ​ a d − b c − b ​ a d − b c a ​ ​ ) , so the matrix equation can be ...
