Cramer's rule is a form of formula for finding the solution of linear equations system of with as many equations as unknown.
Given that,
[tex]\left\{\begin{matrix}11x_1& 16x_2 & 25x_3 & =971\\15x_1& 22x_2& 8x_3 & =1104 \\ 9x_1& 12x_2& 17x_3& =730 \\\end{matrix}\right.[/tex]
solution by Cramer's rule
[tex]A = \begin{vmatrix} 971& 16& 25\\1104 & 22& 8\\ 730& 12& 17\\\end{vmatrix}[/tex]
[tex]A = -320[/tex]
[tex]A_1={\begin{vmatrix} 971& 16& 25\\ 1104& 22& 8\\ 730& 12& 17\\\end{vmatrix}[/tex]
[tex]A_1 = 7210[/tex]
[tex]A_2=\begin{vmatrix}11 & 971 &25 \\ 15& 1104 & 8 \\ 9& 730& 17\\\end{vmatrix}[/tex]
[tex]A_2=-10135[/tex]
[tex]A_3=\begin{vmatrix} 11& 16& 971\\ 15& 22& 1104\\ 9& 12& 730\\\end{vmatrix}[/tex]
[tex]A_3=-2770[/tex]
[tex]x_1=A_1/A\\ x_2=A_2/A\\ x_3=A_3/A\\[/tex]
[tex]x_1=\frac{-7210}{-320} \\ x_2=\frac{-10135}{-320} \\ x_3=\frac{-2770}{-320} \\[/tex]
[tex]x_1=\frac{721}{32} \\ x_2=\frac{2027}{64} \\ x_3=\frac{277}{32} \\[/tex]
[tex]x_1=22.53 \\ x_2=\ 31.67 \\ x_3=8.65\\[/tex]
Hence cost of widget is 22.53, gizmo is 31.67, and blibbet is 8.65.
