red and blue ceramic tiles are laid according to a pattern such that every 21 red tiles used, 4 blue tiles are used. if a total

of 425 tiles are used, how many of them are blue? setup a proportion for this scenario( use x for your unknown number of blue tiles).

Answer:

X= blue tiles

Y = red tiles

X/y = 4/21

X+y= 425

Y= 357 tiles

X= 68 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

red and blue ceramic tiles are laid according to a pattern.

The pattern= every 21 red tiles used, 4 blue tiles are used

Total number of tiles used = 425 tiles

X= blue tiles

Y = red tiles

X/y = 4/21

X+y= 425

21x= 4y

X= 4y/21

X+y= 425

4y/21 + y = 425

25y= 425(21)

Y=( 425*21)/25

Y= 357 tiles

X= 4y/21

X= (4*357)/21

X= 1428/21

X= 68 tiles

Answer: 0.6

Step-by-step explanation: First, you want so seperate the equations in parenthesis to make solving the equation easier.

(-2/3x-9/8x )-(4/5x)-(1)

So (-2/3x-9/8x) equals -11/24x

And -11/24x-4/5x equals -151/120x

So -151/120x-1 ends up being 0.6.

Solve five and three sixths minus two and one third.

Answer:

3 3/18

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/6-2 1/3

We first need to turn our mixed numbers into fractions by multiplying the while number by the denominator, then adding the numerator. When we do this, 5 3/6 turns into 33/6 and 2 1/3 turns into 7/3. Now we have this:

33/6-7/3

Now we need to find the Least common multiple of the denominators in order to find our common denominator, which in this case is 6. 33/6 already has a denominator of 6, so we do not need to do anything to it. To give a denominator of 6 to 7/3, however, we must multiply by 2, giving us this:

33/6-14/6

Now we can subtract the numerators.

19/6

To turn this back into a mixed number, we divide 19 by 6, which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, our answer is 3 1/6. This is an equivalent fraction to the fourth answer, 3 3/18.

A is a 4x4 matrix and A^2 + 4A - 5I = 0. If det(A+2I)>0, enter det(A+2I)

maw [93]

$\mathbf A^2+4\mathbf A-5\mathbf I=0$
$\implies\mathbf A^2+4\mathbf A+4\mathbf I=(\mathbf A+2\mathbf I)^2=9\mathbf I$
$\implies\det\bigg((\mathbf A+2\mathbf I)^2\bigg)=\det(9\mathbf I)$
$\implies\det(\mathbf A+2\mathbf I)^2=9^4\det\mathbf I$
$\implies\det(\mathbf A+2\mathbf I)=\pm\sqrt{9^4}$
$\implies\det(\mathbf A+2\mathbf I)=9^2=81$

where we take the positive root because we're told that the determinant is positive.
