Mathematics Question on Determinants

Solve system of linear equations, using matrix method.
5x+2y=3
3x+2y=5

Answer

The given system of equations can be written in the form of AX=B, where
A=[52\32]\begin{bmatrix}5&2\\\3&2\end{bmatrix},X=[x\y]\begin{bmatrix}x\\\y\end{bmatrix}and B=[3\5]\begin{bmatrix}3\\\5\end{bmatrix}.
Now, |A|=10-6=4≠0
Thus, A is non-singular.
Therefore, its inverse exists.
