22+10x=10+13x
13x-10x=22-10
3x=12
x=4

<em>Answer:4 weeks</em>

Lets say Y is the amount they will save.
So Melinda's savings could be described by the equation Y=22+10X, where X is the number of weeks. The same goes to George, but his equation would be Y=10+13X.

To save the same amount, their equations must match:
22+10X = 10+13X
Solving this, one gets
12 = 3x
=> 4=x
So the answer is 4 weeks.

For the following linear system, put the augmented coefficient matrix into reduced row-echelon form.
Anni [7]

Answer:

The reduced row-echelon form of the linear system is \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&0\\0&1&3&0\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve the original system of linear equations by performing a sequence of the following elementary row operations on the augmented matrix:

  1. Interchange two rows
  2. Multiply one row by a nonzero number
  3. Add a multiple of one row to a different row

To find the reduced row-echelon form of this augmented matrix

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}2&3&-1&14\\1&2&1&4\\5&9&2&7\end{array}\right]

You need to follow these steps:

  • Divide row 1 by 2 \left(R_1=\frac{R_1}{2}\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3/2&-1/2&7\\1&2&1&4\\5&9&2&7\end{array}\right]

  • Subtract row 1 from row 2 \left(R_2=R_2-R_1\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3/2&-1/2&7\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\5&9&2&7\end{array}\right]

  • Subtract row 1 multiplied by 5 from row 3 \left(R_3=R_3-\left(5\right)R_1\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&3/2&-1/2&7\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\0&3/9&9/2&-28\end{array}\right]

  • Subtract row 2 multiplied by 3 from row 1 \left(R_1=R_1-\left(3\right)R_2\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\0&3/9&9/2&-28\end{array}\right]

  • Subtract row 2 multiplied by 3 from row 3 \left(R_3=R_3-\left(3\right)R_2\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&1/2&3/2&-3\\0&0&0&-19\end{array}\right]

  • Multiply row 2 by 2 \left(R_2=\left(2\right)R_2\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&2&3&-6\\0&0&0&-19\end{array}\right]

  • Divide row 3 by −19 \left(R_3=\frac{R_3}{-19}\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&16\\0&2&3&-6\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]

  • Subtract row 3 multiplied by 16 from row 1 \left(R_1=R_1-\left(16\right)R_3\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&0\\0&1&3&-6\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]

  • Add row 3 multiplied by 6 to row 2 \left(R_2=R_2+\left(6\right)R_3\right)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&0\\0&1&3&0\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]

Nolan used the following procedure to find an estimate for StartRoot 18 EndRoot.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Nolan correctly identified the square  numbers before and after 18.

The square roots of them are 4 and 5.

Clearly, square root of 18 should lie between 4 and 5 only.

He, then carefully squared 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc. and identified that 4.3 squared is nearer to 18.

Since, Nolan is finding estimated square root, his steps are cool and he didn't make any error.

A random sample of 25 college statistics textbook prices is obtained and the mean price is computed. To determine the probabilit
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

We need to refer to the population distribution of all college statistics textbook prices.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

We are being given the sample size and the mean that has already been computed. Thus, to determine the probability of a more extreme mean, we need the t-test statistics value. In this case, we will need the sample mean, thus we need to refer to the population distribution of all college statistics textbook prices.

Is (x-2) a factor of f(x) = (4x +13x +10)?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No but it is close.   (4x +13x +10) factors into
