3s + 4j = 360
1s + 3j = 220

This one we can solve using substitution, in that
s + 3j = 220 implies s = 220 - 3j (subtract 3j from each side).

Now substitute into the first equation:

3(220 - 3j) + 4j = 360. Solve for jackets.
660 - 9j + 4j = 360 [Distributive property]
660 - 5j = 360 [Add -9j + 4j]
Subtract 360 from each side, and add 5j to each side.
660 - 360 - 5j + 5j = 360 - 360 + 5j
300 = 5j
Divide each side by 5.
$60 = price of a jacket.

Three of these plus a shirt runs $220.
3(60) = 180
180 + s = 220
180 - 180 + s = 220 - 180 [Subtract 180 from each side]
s = 40

Now we double check.
3(40) + 4 (60) = 120 + 240 = 360. This satisfies the first equation.
We could check the second one too, but I'm satisfied.

Multiplication in GF(24 ): Compute A(x)B(x) mod P(x) in GF(24 ) using the irreducible polynomial P(x) = x 4 + x + 1, where A(x)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

i advice you check the question again if it is GF( $2^{4}$ ) or GF(24). i believe the question should rather be in this form;

multiplication in GF( $2^{4}$ ): Compute A(x)B(x) mod P(x) = $x^{4}$ + $x$ +1, where A(x)= $x^{2}$ +1, and B(x)= $x^{3} + x+1$ .

i will solve the above question and i believe with this you will be able to solve any related problem.

A(x)B(x)= $(x^{2} +1) (x^{3}+x+1) mod (x^{4}+x+1 ) = (x^{5} +x^{3}+x^{2} ) + (x^{3}+x+1 ) mod (x^{4} + x+1 )$

= $x^{5}+2x^{3} +x^{2} + x + 1 mod(x^{4}+x+1 )$

= $2x^{2} +1$

please note that the division by the modulus above we used

$\frac{x^{5}+2x^{3}+x^{2} +1 }{x^{4}+x+1}= x+\frac{2x^{3} +1}{x^{4}+x+1}$
