Here,
HOPE THAT HELPS!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
The augmented matrix is -1 1 -1
3 -5 7
Multiply the first row by -1: 1 -1 1
3 -5 7
Add -3(row 1) to row 2 and replace row 2 with the result:
1 -1 1
0 -2 4
Divide row 2 by -2: 1 -1 1
0 1 -2
Add row 2 to row 1 and replace row 1 by the result:
1 0 -1
0 1 -2
Restore variables: 1x + 0y = -1
0x + 1y = -2
So, x = -1 and y = -2
