## anonymous 3 years ago Choose the value of the y determinant (Dy) in the following system. 3x – y = 7 2x + 5y = 4

1. anonymous

are there choices

what do you mean by y [dy] for the set of eq. ??

5. anonymous

hey @FlyinSolo_424

6. anonymous

oh sorry. and like d (little y) instead of ^y it would be the other way

list the coefficients without the $$y$$ you get $3,7$$2,4$ then $$D_y=3\times 4-7\times 2$$ if i remember correctly

im confused @satellite73

11. anonymous

did you see how i got this $3,7$$2,4$?

12. anonymous

[3 7] [2 4] id required one can you solve this ?

We start out with the system:$\begin{array}{cccc} 3x &–& y &=& 7 \\ 2x &+& 5y &=& 4 \end{array}$ We have our matrix by taking coefficients: $\begin{bmatrix} 3&-1\\ 2&5 \end{bmatrix}$We have our answer column: $\begin{bmatrix} 7\\4 \end{bmatrix}$We replace the y column with the answer column:$\begin{bmatrix} 3&7\\ 2&4 \end{bmatrix}$Then we find the determinant:$3\times 4 - 7 \times 2$
