Use Cramer's rule to solve the following system of equations.


5x + 3y = 7

4x + 5y = 3

Ax = 2, y = —1
Bx = 4, y = 1
Cx = --2, y = —1
Dx = 2, y = 5

5x + 3y = 7> (4) 5x + (4) 3y = (4) 7
4x + 5y = 3> (-5) 4x + (-5) 5y = (-5) 3

20y + 12y = 28
-20x -25y = -15

(X's cross out) 12y - 25y = 28 -15

-13y = 13
Y = -1

(Plug in for y) 5x + 3(-1) = 7

5x -3 =7 (add 3 to 7)
5x = 10 (divide by 5)
X= 2
Ordered Pair= (2, -1)
