80-6= 74. 74/2=37 thomas age is 37
Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8
Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40
Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5
Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8 ok.
The constant is the height over width
Answer:
6/7 - 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that 1/2=0,5
Then, you have to solve the two sums:


You now know what number of 0,47 and 0,52 is closer to 0,5; which is 0,52
0,47 is to 0,03 from 0,5
0,52 is to 0,02 from 0,5
