1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.535
Here is the problem: 4x minus 4y equals 20; x minus 9y equals negative 19.

2
00:00:07.985 --> 00:00:11.015
2 linear equations in 2 unknowns (x, y).

3
00:00:11.815 --> 00:00:17.875
Write every equation in standard form. Move all variable terms to the left and constants to the right.

4
00:00:18.325 --> 00:00:22.528
Build the augmented matrix [A | b]. Columns: x, y | constant.

5
00:00:22.978 --> 00:00:29.491
Gauss–Jordan elimination. Use row operations to make each pivot 1 and clear the rest of its column.

6
00:00:29.941 --> 00:00:31.764
Divide R1 by 4.

7
00:00:32.564 --> 00:00:35.304
Clear column 1 using the pivot in R1.

8
00:00:35.754 --> 00:00:38.297
Divide R2 by negative 8.

9
00:00:38.747 --> 00:00:41.615
Clear column 2 using the pivot in R2.

10
00:00:42.065 --> 00:00:43.957
Reduced row-echelon form.

11
00:00:44.757 --> 00:00:46.475
Read off the unique solution.

12
00:00:47.275 --> 00:00:51.095
So the answer is x equals 8, y equals 3.

13
00:00:51.545 --> 00:00:57.211
The system has exactly one solution; substituting it back satisfies every equation.

14
00:00:58.011 --> 00:01:03.259
Equation 1: 4x minus 4y equals 20, which checks out.

15
00:01:03.709 --> 00:01:09.363
Equation 2: x minus 9y equals negative 19, which checks out.
