Determining $x_2$ in the solution of the system
$begingroup$
Task:
Determine $x_2$ in the solution of the system$$
begin{bmatrix}4&a&0\6&b&2\9&c&3end{bmatrix}begin{bmatrix}x_1\x_2\x_3end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}1\2\0end{bmatrix}$$when$$
left|begin{matrix}4&a&0\6&b&2\9&c&3end{matrix}right|=4$$
using Cramer's rule.
Options to choose from:
- $-4$
- $4$
- $6$
- $-2$
My answer:
$$begin{bmatrix}x_1\x_2\x_3end{bmatrix}×4=begin{bmatrix}1\2\0end{bmatrix}$$
I got $x_2=dfrac24$ which is not an option to choose. How do I do?
