Use the row operations on an augmented matrix to solve the following system of equations.1. The matrix in reduced row echelon form is?2. The solution set it?

Answer:
(7, 9)
Explanation
2) Given the simultaneous equation;
x+y = 16 .... 1
x-y =-2 ....2
Add both equations;
x+x = 16+(-2)
2x = 16-2
2x = 14
x = 14/2
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 into 1;
From equation 1:
x+y = 16
7 + y = 16
y = 16-7
y = 9
Hence the solution set (x, y) is (7, 9)
