Use Cramer’s Rule to Solve Systems of Equations

In the following exercises, solve each system of equations using Cramer’s Rule.

2x+y=36x+3y=9

Short Answer

Expert verified

The system is consistent and dependent and having infinitely many solutions.

Step by step solution

01

Given system of linear equations are,

2x+y=36x+3y=9

The objective is, we need to solve this system by using the Cramer's rule.

02

Step 2 Find the determinant D by using the coefficients of the variables.

D=2163=23-16=6-6=0

Here we cannot solve this system by using the Cramer's rule. But by looking at the determinant Dx,Dy, we can determine whether the system is dependent or inconsistent.

03

Step 3 Find the determinant Dx by using the constants to replace the coefficients of x.

Dx=3193=33-19=9-9=0

04

Step 4 Find the determinant Dy by using the constants to replace the coefficients of y.

Dy=2369=29-36=18-18=0

Here all the determinants are zero.

So, the system is consistent and dependent and have infinitely many solutions.
