Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] \\\\\det A=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right|=ad-bc[/tex]
[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+2y=5\\x-3y=7\end{array}\right\\\\A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\1&-3\end{array}\right] \\\\\det A=A=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\1&-3\end{array}\right|=(1)(-3)-(1)(2)=-3-2=-5[/tex]
-5
