(8•3/9•3)=(24/27)

You could do any number:
(8•100/9•100)=(800/900)

Solve the matrix equation for a, b, c, and d. [1 2] [a b] [6 5][3 4] [c d]= [19 8]
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-2\\ -\frac{1}{2}&\frac{7}{2}\end{array}\right]}".

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\ 19&8\end{array}\right]}

Solve the L.H.S part:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+2c&b+2d\\3a+4c&3b+4d\end{array}\right]

After calculating the L.H.S part compare the value with R.H.S:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+2c&b+2d\\3a+4c&3b+4d\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\ 19&8\end{array}\right]} \\\\

\to a+2c =6....(i)\\\\\to b+2d =5....(ii)\\\\\to 3a+4c =19....(iii)\\\\\to 3b+4d = 8 ....(iv)\\\\

In equation (i) multiply by 3 and subtract by equation (iii):

\to 3a+6c=18\\\to 3a+4c=19\\\\\text{subtract}... \\\\\to 2c = -1\\\\\to  c= - \frac{1}{2}

put the value of c in equation (i):

\to a+ 2 (- \frac{1}{2})=6\\\\\to a- 2 \times \frac{1}{2}=6\\\\\to a- 1=6\\\\\to a =6 +1\\\\\to a = 7\\

In equation (ii) multiply by 3 then subtract by equation (iv):

\to 3b+6d=15\\\to 3b+4d=8\\\\\text{subtract...}\\\\\to 2d = 7\\\\\to d= \frac{7}{2}\\

put the value of d in equation (iv):

\to 3b+4 (\frac{7}{2})=8\\\\\to 3b+4 \times \frac{7}{2}=8\\\\\to 3b+14=8\\\\\to 3b =8-14\\\\\to 3b = -6\\\\\to b= \frac{-6}{3}\\\\\to b= -2

The final answer is "\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-2\\ -\frac{1}{2}&\frac{7}{2}\end{array}\right]}".

How much of 30% HCI and 45% HCI would be needed to mix and produce 50 liters of 35% HCI
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

  • 33 1/3 liters of 30%
  • 16 2/3 liters of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...

  0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)

  0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)

  x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl

33  1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...

  (mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3
