x − 7y = −11
5x + 2y = −18
Answer: x = −4; y = 1
(ii) Solve:
40x1 − 30x2 = 30
40x1 + 10x2 = 70
Answer: x = 1.5; y = 1
(iii) Solve:
2x + 5y + 2z = −38
3x − 2y + 4z = 17

(iv) Michael had £26100 in an investment, and he chose to split the money into two
different accounts. During the first year, Account A earned 7% interest and Account
B earned 2% interest. If he received a total of £1107 in interest, how much had he
invested into each account?
Find the invested money using the inverse matrix method. The system of equations
is seen below.
A + B = 26100
0.07A + 0.02B = 1107
(v) In a system of foces, the relationship between two forces F1 and F2 is given by:
F1 + 2F2 = −4
5F1 + 3F2 = 1
(vi) Jesse, Maria, and Charles went to the local craft store to purchase supplies for making
decorations for the upcoming dance at the high school. Jesse purchased three sheets of
craft paper, four boxes of markers and five glue sticks. His bill, before taxes was $24.40.
Maria spent $30.40 when she bought six sheets of craft paper, five boxes of markers
and two glue sticks. Charles, purchases totalled $13.40 when he bought three sheets of
craft paper, two boxes of markers and one glue stick. Determine the unit cost of each item
