The matrix that can be used to represent the system of equations is:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&9\\8&6&60\end{array}\right][/tex]
What is a system of equations?
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
For this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Number of 8-legged spiders.
- Variable y: Number of 6-legged beetles.
There are a total of 9 animals in the drawing with a total of 60 legs, hence the equations are given by:
- x + y = 9.
- 8x + 6y = 60.
Hence the matrix of coefficients is:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&9\\8&6&60\end{array}\right][/tex]
