Question

Identify which matrix you would multiply both sides by to solve the system of equations

Answer 1

Step 1

Write the given matrix

`\begin{bmatrix}{6} & {3} \\ {8} & {4}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}{x} & {} \\ {y} & {}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}{9} & {} \\ {12} & {}\end{bmatrix}`

Step 2

Find the inverse of

`\begin{gathered} \begin{bmatrix}{6} & {3} \\ {8} & {4}\end{bmatrix} \\ \\ Inverse\text{ = }(Adjoint)/(determiant) \\ determinant\text{ = 6}*4\text{ - 8}*3\text{ = 24 - 24 = 0} \\ \\ Since\text{ the determinant is zero, hence the matrix has no inverse.} \end{gathered}`

Final answer

Not possible
