Question

The solution to the system of equations \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&5\\ { - 4}&3 \end{array}} \right]\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x\\ y \end{array}} \right\} = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2\\ { - 30} \end{array}} \right\}\) is

The correct answer is

6, -2

Twice the first equation plus the second gives 13y = −26, so y = −2. Substitution into 2x+5y = 2 gives x = 6. Thus (x,y) = (6,−2).
