In matrix form, the system is given by

\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -20 \\ 29 \\ 29 \end{bmatrix}

I'll use G-J elimination. Consider the augmented matrix

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} -1 & 1 & -1 & -20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply through row 1 by -1.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entries in the first column of the second and third rows. Combine -2 (row 1) with row 2, and -3 (row 1) with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 5 & -2 & -31 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entry in the second column of the third row. Combine -5 (row 2) with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 24 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 3 by 1/3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entry in the third column of the second row. Combine row 2 with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entries in the second and third columns of the first row. Combine row 1 with row 2 and -1 (row 3).

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 9 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

Then the solution to the system is

\boxed{x=9, y=-3, z=8}

If you want to use G elimination and substitution, you'd stop at the step with the augmented matrix

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

The third row tells us that z=8. Then in the second row,

y-z = -11 \implies y=-11 + 8 = -3

and in the first row,

x-y+z=20 \implies x=20 + (-3) - 8 = 9

The measures of exterior angles of a regular polygon with n numbers of sides ____ as n increases
Darina [25.2K]
Decrease

The exterior angles of a polygon add up to 360 degrees, so the measure of each exterior angle of an n-sided regular polygon is given by 360/n. As n increases, 360/n will decrease.

Please help!!<br> I don’t know what to do
ira [324]

Answer:

x = 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar means that the figures are proportional to each other. Because of this, we can form a problem. \frac{9}{5} (the short side lengths) = \frac{x}{8} (the long side lengths). Now we can solve this by cross-multiplying. If we multiply 9 · 8 we get 72, and 5 · x is 5x. 72 = 5x. Now divide both sides by 5. 72 ÷ 5 = 14.4. Therefore, x should be equal to 14.4. Does this make sense?
