It would be 40•.25=10 which means 40-10=30 so it’d be .25 and you’d move the decimal over 2 spots so it’d be 25% off

For the following linear system, put the augmented coefficient matrix into reduced row-echelon form.

Anni [7]

Answer:

The reduced row-echelon form of the linear system is $\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&0\\0&1&3&0\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve the original system of linear equations by performing a sequence of the following elementary row operations on the augmented matrix:

Interchange two rows
Multiply one row by a nonzero number
Add a multiple of one row to a different row

To find the reduced row-echelon form of this augmented matrix

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}2&3&-1&14\\1&2&1&4\\5&9&2&7\end{array}\right]$

You need to follow these steps:

Divide row 1 by 2 $\left(R_1=\frac{R_1}{2}\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3/2&-1/2&7\\1&2&1&4\\5&9&2&7\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 1 from row 2 $\left(R_2=R_2-R_1\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3/2&-1/2&7\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\5&9&2&7\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 1 multiplied by 5 from row 3 $\left(R_3=R_3-\left(5\right)R_1\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3/2&-1/2&7\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\0&3/9&9/2&-28\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 2 multiplied by 3 from row 1 $\left(R_1=R_1-\left(3\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\0&3/9&9/2&-28\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 2 multiplied by 3 from row 3 $\left(R_3=R_3-\left(3\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\0&0&0&-19\end{array}\right]$

Multiply row 2 by 2 $\left(R_2=\left(2\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&2&3&-6\\0&0&0&-19\end{array}\right]$

Divide row 3 by −19 $\left(R_3=\frac{R_3}{-19}\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&2&3&-6\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 3 multiplied by 16 from row 1 $\left(R_1=R_1-\left(16\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&0\\0&1&3&-6\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Add row 3 multiplied by 6 to row 2 $\left(R_2=R_2+\left(6\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&0\\0&1&3&0\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

What is the value of y in the following system?<br> Y= 3x-5<br> 6x + 3y= 15

nalin [4]

X = 2
y = 1

You can get this by replacing the y in the second equation with the 3x - 5 from the first. Then solve for x. Once you have that value, you can solve for y.
