Example: Solving a System of Two Equations Using Cramer's Rule
Solve the system using Cramer's rule. First, evaluate the determinant using the coefficients of the variables: . Next, evaluate by replacing the coefficients with the constants and : . Then, evaluate by replacing the coefficients with the constants: . Now, find and using the formulas: and . Write the solution as the ordered pair . Finally, check the solution in both original equations to verify it is correct.
