Ex 4.5, 1 Examine the consistency of the system of equations. x + 2y = 2 2x + 3y = 3 x + 2y = 2 2x + 3y = 3 Step 1 Write equation AX = B [โ 8(1&2@2&3)] [โ 8(๐ฅ@๐ฆ)] = [โ 8(2@3)] Hence A = [โ 8(1&2@2&3)], X = [โ 8(๐ฅ@๐ฆ)] & B = [โ 8(2@3)] Step 2 Calculate |A| |A| = |โ 8(1&2@2&3)| = 3 ร 1 โ 2 ร 2 = 3 โ 4 = โ1 โ 0 Since |A| โ 0 the system of equations is consistent
