What is the solution to this system of equations?

Mathematics

damaskus [11]1 year ago

Since this is multiple choice ...

• check if B is correct:

x = 0, y = 4, z = 1   ⇒   3x - y + 4z = -4 + 4 = 0 ≠ -10

(it's not)

• check if C is correct:

x = -2, y = 4, z = 0

⇒   3x - y + 4z = -6 - 4 + 0 = -10

⇒   3x - y + 4z = 2 + 4 + 0 = 6

⇒   3x - y + 4z = -4 - 4 + 0 = -8

While this solution does satisfy the system, it can still have infinitely many other solutions that would work.

• check if D is correct:

Eliminate one of the variables from each equation. For instance,

(3x - y + 4z) + (-x + y + 2z) = -10 + 6

2x + 6z = -4

x + 3z = -2

and

(2x - y + z) + (-x + y + 2z) = -8 + 6

x + 3z = -2

but now it's impossible to eliminate one of the variables.

Therefore there are infinitely many solutions to the system [D].

Evaluate the following expression. Express your answer in simplest form. 3/16 + 5/8 × 1/2​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to follow the order of operations. Since there are no parenthesis or exponents, we do multiplication first. to multiple fractions, we multiply the two numerators (top parts), which in this situation would get us 5*1=5. Then, we multiply the two denominators (bottom parts), which would get us 8*2=16. then we put the first result over the second, and we get 5/16. since the two denominators are the same, we don't need to change anything. we can just add the numerator, and get 8/16, which simplifies to 1/2.
