Which matrix respresents the system of equations shown below?
3x - 2y = 12
4x - y = 9

9514 1404 393
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you remove the variables and the equal signs from the equations and put brackets around what is left, you have the matrix that represents the equations:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-2&12\\4&-1&9\end{array}\right] \qquad\textbf{matches B}[/tex]
_____
Additional comment
You need to be sure the variables are in the same order in both equations, as they are here. If there are equations with missing variables, you need to use a zero (0) coefficient in the missing variable's location.
