Answer:
multiply the left side of the constant vector by the inverse matrix
Step-by-step explanation:
The matrix equation ...
AX = B
is solved by left-multiplying by the inverse of A:
A⁻¹AX = A⁻¹B
IX = A⁻¹B . . . . . the result of multiplying A⁻¹A is the identity matrix
X = A⁻¹B . . . . . B needs to be multiplied by the inverse matrix
The equations we get are
l = 6 + 2w (We get this from "The length of the rectangle is 6 more than 2 times the width.")
and
2l + 2w = 140 (We get this from the perimeter. Two times the length plus two times the width equals the perimeter of a quadrilateral.)
The first equation can be written as
l - 2w = 6
So now we have
2l + 2w = 140
l - 2w = 6
____________
Add the two equations.
We get 3l = 146
Divide by 3 on both sides.
l = 48
Your answer is 48.
l = 6 + 2w (We get this from "The length of the rectangle is 6 more than 2 times the width.")
and
2l + 2w = 140 (We get this from the perimeter. Two times the length plus two times the width equals the perimeter of a quadrilateral.)
The first equation can be written as
l - 2w = 6
So now we have
2l + 2w = 140
l - 2w = 6
____________
Add the two equations.
We get 3l = 146
Divide by 3 on both sides.
l = 48
Your answer is 48
