I am somehow confused with the given matrix. Because usually, when the system of equations is given as:

ax + by = c
dx + ey = f

the matrix would be written in this manner:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b&c\\d&e&f\end{array}\right]

Let me just assume that the arrangement of the given corresponds to this system of equations:

4x + 8y = 0
2x + 5y = 6

So you write it as 

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\2&5&6\end{array}\right]

In order to solve this, the matrix should look like this where x and y are the answers

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&x\\0&1&y\end{array}\right]


So, the first thing to do is apply this pattern: Row 2 = Row 1 - 2*Row 2. The result will be

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]

Next, Row 1 = (Row 1/4) + R2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-12\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]

Lastly, Row 2 = Row 2 / -2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-12\\0&1&6\end{array}\right]

Thus, the answer is x=-12 and y=6.

You deposit $1200 in an account. The account earns $120 simple

We have to find the unit rate, so we have to divide what you earned in interest by the amount of months.

120/8=15

So you earn $15 per month

What is 2/9 = 4/x+8 i dont get this fraction solving
Dmitriy789 [7]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

\frac{2}{9}  =  \frac{4}{x + 8}  \\

\frac{4}{x + 8}  =  \frac{2}{9}  \\

Inverse both sides

\frac{x + 8}{4}  =  \frac{9}{2}  \\

Multiply sides by 4

4 \times  \frac{x + 8}{4}  = 4 \times  \frac{9}{2}  \\

x + 8 = 2 \times 9

x + 8 = 18

Subtract sides 8

x + 8 - 8 = 18 - 8

x = 10

Done...
