Solve system of linear equations,  using matrix method:
5x + 2y = 4
7x + 3y = 5

Solution

The given equations are
5x  + 2y = 4    
7x + 3y = 5
These equations can be written as
open square brackets table row 5 cell space space space 2 end cell row 7 cell space space space 3 end cell end table close square brackets space open square brackets table row straight x row straight y end table close square brackets space equals space open square brackets table row 4 row 5 end table close square brackets            
   or space space space space space space space space space space space space space AX space equals space straight B space space where space straight A space equals space open square brackets table row 5 cell space space 2 end cell row 7 cell space space 3 end cell end table close square brackets comma space space space straight X space equals space open square brackets table row straight x row straight y end table close square brackets comma space space straight B space equals space open square brackets table row 4 row 5 end table close square brackets
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space open vertical bar straight A close vertical bar space equals space open vertical bar table row 5 cell space space space 2 end cell row 7 cell space space 3 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space 15 minus 14 space equals space 1 space not equal to space 0
therefore space space space space straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent space exists.
space space space space space space straight A subscript 11 space equals space 3 comma space space space space space straight A subscript 12 space equals space minus 7 comma space space space straight A subscript 21 space equals space minus 2 comma space space space straight A subscript 22 space equals space 5
space space space space space space space space space space space adj. space straight A space equals space open square brackets table row cell space space space 3 end cell cell space space space space minus 7 end cell row cell negative 2 end cell cell space space space space space 5 end cell end table close square brackets to the power of apostrophe space space space equals space open square brackets table row 3 cell space space space minus 2 end cell row cell negative 7 end cell cell space space space space space 5 end cell end table close square brackets
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent space equals space fraction numerator adj. space straight A over denominator open vertical bar straight A close vertical bar end fraction space equals space open square brackets table row 3 cell space space space minus 2 end cell row cell negative 7 end cell cell space space space space space 5 end cell end table close square brackets
Now space AX space equals space straight B space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space space straight X space equals space straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight B
   rightwards double arrow space space space open square brackets table row straight x row straight y end table close square brackets space equals space open square brackets table row 3 cell space space space minus 2 end cell row cell negative 7 end cell cell space space space space space space 5 end cell end table close square brackets space open square brackets table row 4 row 5 end table close square brackets space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space open square brackets table row straight x row straight y end table close square brackets space equals space open square brackets table row cell 12 minus 10 end cell row cell negative 28 plus 25 end cell end table close square brackets
rightwards double arrow space space space space space open square brackets table row straight x row straight y end table close square brackets space space equals space open square brackets table row cell space space space space 2 end cell row cell negative 3 end cell end table close square brackets
space therefore space space space space space straight x space equals space 2 comma space space space straight y space equals space minus 3
