Answer: (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying matrices:
Row 1 x Column 1 = the value in Row 1 Column 1
- [tex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}5&2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]= -7[/tex]
- ⇒ 5(x) + 2(y) = -7
- ⇒ 5x + 2y = -7
Row 2 x Column 1 = the value in Row 2 Column 1
- [tex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&-4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]= -6[/tex]
- ⇒ 3(x) + -4(y) = -6
- ⇒ 3x - 4y = -6
Combine the two equations to get:
[tex]\left \{ {{5x + 2y = -7} \atop {3x - 4y = -6}} \right[/tex]
