Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify which statement is true in matrix addition.

In matrix addition we just add the corresponding elements.

In the options given only Option A is correct i.e, (n+4)-7 = 18

All other options have error in them.

In Option B there should be -12 instead of +12

In Option C there should be -11 instead of 11

In Option D we are not adding corresponding entries.

So, Option A is correct.

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given matrix addtion is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-1&n\\6&m-1&-9\\17&s+1&7\end{array}\right]+(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5&0&4\\0&-12&2\\1&-18&8\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-6&-7\\4&0&3\\14&-11&5\end{array}\right] )=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&-7&18\\10&12&-4\\32&-28&20\end{array}\right]$

On simplify the parenthesis we get.

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-1&n\\6&m-1&-9\\17&s+1&7\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5+1&0-6&4-7\\0+4&-12+0&2+3\\1+14&-18-11&8+5\end{array}\right]+=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&-7&18\\10&12&-4\\32&-28&20\end{array}\right]$

On adding both matrices on left side we get

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3-5+1&-1+0-6&n+4-7\\6+0+4&(m-1)-12+0&-9+2+3\\17+1+14&(s+1)-18-11&7+8+5\end{array}\right]+=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&-7&18\\10&12&-4\\32&-28&20\end{array}\right]$

On comparing corresponding elements of both sides we get

$(n+4)-7=18$

$(m-1)-12+0=12$

$((s+1)-18)-11=-28$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Increase 220 by 15% please

rjkz [21]

Lets do this step by step.

1st.) what is 15% as a decimal
15% = 0.15

2nd.) multiply
220 x 0.15 = 33

3rd) we add that 33 and 220 since this its asking for the increase
220 + 33 = 253

Answer = 253

In the 2004 Olympics, Adam won a gold medal in the men's 500 m kayak race, with a time of 1 min and 37.9 sec. He also won the br

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is Adam rowed faster in the men's 500-meter kayak race.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed he rowed in both races, you need to divide the distance of the race by the time it took him to finish. In the first race, he rowed 500 meters and did it in a time of 1 minute 37.9 seconds, so the speed in that race would be $\frac{500}{97.9}$ or approximately 5.10725 meters per second. In the second race, Adam rowed a distance of 1000 meters and did it in a time of 3 minutes 28.2 seconds, which means his speed in that race would be $\frac{1000}{208.2}$ or approximately 4.80307 meters per second. Since his speed in the first race was faster than his speed in the second race, Adam rowed faster in the first race would be the correct answer.
