A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12

A plane is traveling at a rate of 500 miles per hour. The remaining fuel can last for up to 1500 miles.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. since we know it can travel 500 mph and it has enough fuel to fly for another 1500 miles. it can fly for 3 more hours, the reason D is the correct answer is since the plane can't fly more than 3 hours so it will fly for 3 hours exactly or less

Let T : V → W be a linear transformation from vector space V into vector space W.
wel

Explanation:

Since {v1,...,vp} is linearly dependent, there exist scalars a1,...,ap, with not all of them being 0 such that a1v1+a2v2+...+apvp = 0. Using the linearity of T we have that

a1*T(v1)+a2*T(v1) + ... + ap*T(vp) = T(a1v19+T(a2v2)+...+T(avp) = T(a1v1+a2v2+...+apvp) = T(0) = 0.

Since at least one ai is different from 0, we obtain a non trivial linear combination that eliminates T(v1) , ..., T(vp). That proves that {T(v1) , ..., T(vp)} is a linearly dependent set of W.

I need a Tutor and Help with this question
valkas [14]

Answer:

x=31

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=80

x+y=37

solve by elimination:( multiply second equation by 2) to eliminate x

2x+3y=80

2x+2y=74

subtract the two equations:

2x+3y-(3x+2y)=80-74

2x+3y-3x-2y=6

y=6 (3 point basket)

substitute: x+y=37, x=37-6=31

x=31 (2 point shot)
