This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth.

R0064-32919 · q-20261003-advance-20261004-r06-system-linear-equations-0019



## Original question and givens

Over the reals, the constraints (6)x+(1)y=1 and (1)x+(1)y=1 must both hold. Find the coefficient determinant D=ae−bd.


- G001 — Over the reals, the constraints (6)x+(1)y=1 and (1)x+(1)y=1 must both hold. Find the coefficient determinant D=ae−bd.





## Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

## Step-by-step derivation

S001 · impliesBefore

source roles = [qf-linear-system-determinant, determinant, reals, []]

After

derived = [[signed_determinant_integer_STRING]]

Conditions: none

Legacy banks enforce their exact source keys/operation/domain.BASE integers retain metadata without treating it as an oracle.Distinguish NUMBER,string,fraction pair and vector equality formats;retain original bilingual data/AST/status.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: R64_SOURCE_exact_legacy_interface_BASE_metadata_AND_output_roles · Uses: G001





S002 · impliesBefore

source roles = [[[6, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1]]]

After

derived = [[coefficient_x, coefficient_y, right_side]]

Conditions: none

Each ORIGINAL row[a,b,c]means ax+by=c;the THIRD column is RHS,not a coefficient.Type ALL SIX raw SAFE values,including unused RHS in a determinant task.Keep original row order.

S003 · calculationBefore

System ORIGINAL a times e main product := mul(6, 1)

After

System ORIGINAL a times e main product = 6

Conditions: none

Use ORIGINAL operands/order for exact integer/rational arithmetic.RAW bounds are bank-specific;derived values are not SAFE-recapped or approximated.Do not import legacy caps into BASE integers.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002





S004 · calculationBefore

System ORIGINAL b times d other product := mul(1, 1)

After

System ORIGINAL b times d other product = 1

Conditions: none

Use ORIGINAL operands/order for exact integer/rational arithmetic.RAW bounds are bank-specific;derived values are not SAFE-recapped or approximated.Do not import legacy caps into BASE integers.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003





S005 · calculationBefore

System ORIGINAL signed determinant ae minus bd := sub(6, 1)

After

System ORIGINAL signed determinant ae minus bd = 5

Conditions: none

Use ORIGINAL operands/order for exact integer/rational arithmetic.RAW bounds are bank-specific;derived values are not SAFE-recapped or approximated.Do not import legacy caps into BASE integers.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004





S006 · impliesBefore

source roles = [[[6, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1]]]

After

derived = [6, 1, 5]

Conditions: none

D=ae−bd uses ONLY the first TWO columns,retaining ORIGINAL row order/sign.RHS is excluded;swapping rows changes the sign.Do not replace originals by semantic sorting.

## Result

5

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
