Solution Steps
To solve the system using Cramer's rule, we first need to evaluate the determinant \( D \) of the coefficient matrix. If \( D \neq 0 \), Cramer's rule can be applied. We then calculate the determinants \( D_x \) and \( D_y \) by replacing the respective columns of the coefficient matrix with the constant terms. If \( D = 0 \), Cramer's rule cannot be applied, and we would need to use another method, such as substitution or elimination, to solve the system.
Step 1: Calculate the Determinant \( D \)
The determinant \( D \) of the coefficient matrix is calculated as follows:
\[
D = 36.0
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Determinant \( D_x \)
To find \( D_x \), we replace the first column of the coefficient matrix with the constants:
\[
D_x = 38.99999999999999 \approx 39.0
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Determinant \( D_y \)
To find \( D_y \), we replace the second column of the coefficient matrix with the constants:
