Solution
- We are asked to find the augmented matrix for the system of equations:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-4y=5 \\ 7x+8y=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]- The solution steps are given below:
Step 1:
Rewrite the system of equations in the matrix form:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-4y=5 \\ 7x+8y=9 \\ \\ \text{ Becomes} \\ \\ \begin{bmatrix}{1} & {-4\text{ \mid5}} \\ {7} & {8\text{ \mid9}}\end{bmatrix} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}{1} & {-4\text{ \mid5}} \\ {7} & {8\text{ \mid9}}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
