50 point question evaluate the determinant of the matrix show all steps

-4 det 4 4   -5 det 0 4  + 6 det 0 4

          -5 4             -2 4              -2 5

det a b

     c d  

ad -bc

-4 *(4*4- (-5*4))  -5 (0*-5 -4*(-2)) + 6(0*(-5)-(-2*4))

-4 (16 - (-20)) -5 (0+8) +6( 0-(-8))

-4(36) -40+48

-144-40+48

-136

dont think so

step-by-step explanation:

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
