The numbers whose sum is 32 in which one number is 3 times the other is 8 and 24 respectively.

<h3>Equation of the unknown</h3>

Let

x = one of the unknowns
3x = second unknown

x + 3x = 32

4x = 32

x = 32/4

x = 8

So,

3x = second unknown

= 3(8)

= 24

Check:

x + 3x = 32

8 + 24 = 32

Find the determinant of the following matrix.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given matrix is.

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]$

the determinant of the above matrix is.

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=2\times (-4) - (-3)\times 1$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-8 - (-3)$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-8 +3$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-5$

Therefore, the determinant of the matrix is -5

Loretta has a patio in the shapea trapezoid. The floor of the patio is shown in the sketch below.12 feet5 feetWood PlanksBrick15

beks73 [17]

We can calculate the width of the rectangle patio with pythagorean theorem:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Base of triangle=15-12=3} \\ c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ 5^2=3^2+b^2 \\ b=\sqrt[]{25-9} \\ b=\sqrt[]{16} \\ b=4 \end{gathered}$

Then, she need to put trim on the edge of the floow of the patio that is wood planks and DOES NOT share and edge with the brick part:

$\begin{gathered} T=12+4+12 \\ T=28\text{ feet} \end{gathered}$

Loretta need to put 28 feet of trim.
