Answer:
Explanation:
Given the system of equations:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x-2y=5 \\ 5x-y=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]
First, we can write the system as a matrix equation in the form below:
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}4 & -2 \\ 5 & -1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}5 \\ 8\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Next, in order to solve using Gaussian elimination, the matrix equation can be written in the form below:
[tex]\begin{bmatrix} 4&-2&5 \\ 5&-1&8\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
The correct option is B.
