Answer: The two roots are -3 and 16. Since you did not enter a guess, the TI-84 Plus
used the value stored in x (the default is 0) and first returned the answer
nearest 0. To find the other roots, you must enter another guess. In this
activity, we entered 20.

2.) Using matrices, solve the system of linear equations
3x + 3y = 24
and 2x + y = 13.

Note: rref and ref are methods to solve systems of equations that are comparable to the
elimination and substitution methods. You can also use commands such as rowSwap,
row+, *row, and *row+ to do your elimination or substitution methods step by step.

Answer: You can interpret the resulting matrix as:
[ 1 0 5 ] represents 1X + 0Y = 5 or X = 5
[ 0 1 3 ] represents 0X + 1Y = 3 or Y = 3
The solution to the system of equations
x 2y = 4
and 2x + 3y = 3 is X = 5 and Y = 3.
