307.1.1 Use row reduction on the appropriate augmented

[karush]

$\tiny{307.1.1}$
Use row reduction on the appropriate augmented matrix to solve the following system of equations:
$\begin{array}{ll}3x+2y&=2\\x-y&=1\end{array}
\sim\left[\begin{array}{rr|r}3&2&2\\ \:1&-1&1\end{array}\right]\sim
\begin{bmatrix}1&0&\frac{4}{5}\\ 0&1&-\frac{1}{5}\end{bmatrix}$

$x=\dfrac{4}{5}\quad y= -\dfrac{1}{5}$

hopefully no typos!
suggestions??

Well, 3(4/5)+ 2(-1/5)= 12/5- 2/5= 10/5= 2
and 4/5- (-1/5)= 4/5+ 1/5= 5/5= 1

So you certainly got the right answers!

as simple as it looks the steps were very confusing
spent over an hour on it

reduction of matrices is arithmetic torture ...that's why calculators were invented

 

[I like Serena]

I don't consider it that bad. It's mostly just a matter of practice like arithmetic.
\[ \begin{array}{c}-3\\*\end{array}\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}3&2&2\\1&-1&1\end{array}\right] \to \updownarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}0&5&-1\\1&-1&1\end{array}\right] \to \begin{array}{c}\\*\frac 15\end{array}\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&-1&1\\0&5&-1\end{array}\right] \to \begin{array}{c}+1\\*\end{array}\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&-1&1\\0&1&-\frac 15\end{array}\right] \to \left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&0&\frac 45\\0&1&-\frac 15\end{array}\right] \]

\looks like a TI

I had a a TI CAS but loaned it out never got it back
