Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to find the hidden number, Which for simplicity's sake we will denote as "n", lets first write out the equation.

"2 x [n + (-3)] = 4"

We can work through this problem backwards. if we need two times the sum of "n" and (-3) to get to 4, the only number that can be multiplied by 2 to get a product of 4 is 2, so "n" + (-3) must equal 2. so, From here, we can figure out that since 5 + (-3) equals 2, "n" Must equal 5. so, if we plug in 5 for "n" the equation looks like this:

"2 x [5 + (-3)] = 4"

So, since the equation makes sense, the answer is, "n = 5"

Answer:

$c_{11}=56.1$

$c_{12}=12.1$

$c_{13}=236$

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two matrices $X_{m\times{n}}$ and $Y_{n\times{r}}$ equals a matrix $M_{m\times{r}}$ , where the first element of the subscript represents the amount of files of the matrix and the second element represents the amount of columns of the matrix.
Then, in this case $A_{1\times{3}}$ $B_{3\times{3}}$ , therefore, its product will result a matrix $C_{1\times{3}}$ .
Because C matrix is going to have an only file and three columns, we now have to find the values of the elements in each column, based on the elements of A and B.
Commonly, to obtain the values of the resulting matrix, we just have to multiply each file of the first matrix by each column of the second matrix and sum, as follows:
