Matrix

Hi all, can someone please tell me how they got this equation from this matrix. I seem to get two products with X2 instead of one.

Thank you!

This becomes: $\displaystyle \left ( \begin{matrix} 106.67 \times 10^3 - 129.5439 \times 300 & -53.34 \times 10^3 \\ -53.34 \times 10^3 & 106.67 \times 10^3 -129.5439 \times 500 \end{matrix} \right ) \left ( \begin{matrix} 1 \\ x_2 \end{matrix} \right ) = \left ( \begin{matrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )$ Does writing it like this help? -Dan Thanks from Johncena12

Now substitute numbers and if this equation is satisfied, you can solve for x which is probably the second equation of OP. Thanks from topsquark and Johncena12
