Practice: Solving a System of Two Equations Using Cramer's Rule
Apply Cramer's rule to solve a system of two linear equations, such as . First, evaluate the main determinant using the coefficients of the variables. Next, evaluate the determinants and by substituting the system's constants in place of the respective variable coefficients. Then, calculate the values of the variables using the formulas and . Finally, state the solution as an ordered pair and verify it by substituting the values back into the original equations.
