Not sure about matrix equation but this is how I answer it.

Given:
muffins = 3.50
beverage = 1.75
total number of items = 32
total cost = 87.50

m + b = 32
3.50m + 1.75b = 87.50

m = 32 - b

3.50(32-b) + 1.75b = 87.50
112 - 3.50b + 1.75b = 87.50
-3.50b + 1.75b = 87.50 - 112
-1.75b = -24.50
b = -24.50 / -1.75
b = 14

m = 32 - b
m = 18

The class bought 18 muffins and 14 beverages.

3.50m + 1.75b = 87.50
3.50(18) + 1.75(14) = 87.50
63 + 24.50 = 87.50
87.50 = 87.50

Answer:

(a) \begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 50\end{bmatrix}

(b) determinant of the matrix is: -1

(c) number of muffins purchased=18

     number of beverages purchased=14.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) let us assume that the number of muffins purchased=x

number of beverage purchased=y

as a class purchased a total of 32 items that means x+y=32

amount spent=$87.50 that means 3.50x+1.75y=87.50

which could also be written as: 2x+y=50

now in matrix form it could be represented as:

\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 50\end{bmatrix}

(b) the determinant of the matrix\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix} is given by 1\times1-2\times1=1-2=-1

hence the determinant of the matrix is: -1

(c) now on solving the matrix we need to apply row operations in it to make it a upper triangular matrix so that it would be easy for us to calculate the value of x and y.

\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 50\end{bmatrix}

we multiply row 1 by 2 and subtract  row 2 from it to get

\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 14\end{bmatrix}

on using the backward substitution in the matrix we get y=14

and x=18

Hence, number of muffins purchased=18

             number of beverages purchased=14.

It is estimated that there are 828 motor vehicles in the US it is estimated that there are 828 Motor vehicles in the US for ever
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

314 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of motor vehicle in the U.S for every 1000 people = 828

If the number of motor vehicle in the United States = 260 million

Then,

Let x = number of people Given number of vehicles = 260,000,000

1000 people = 828 vehicles

x = 260,000,000

828x = (260,000,000 * 1000)

828x = 260,000,000,000

x = 314009661. 835

x = 314 million (approx)

aniked [119]

Answer:

2x + 10 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let Jim mows x yards

  • -> Robert mows = 2x + 10 yards

  • According to the given condition:

  • 2x + 10 = x (This is the required expression)

  • 2x - x = -10

  • x = -10

Can someone please help?
Kaylis [27]

Hey there!

The answer is C.

First of all, let's assign variables. We can use t for tricycles and b for bicycles.

Next let's look at the first statement:

"There are at most 12 bicycles and tricycles in a school playground."

"At most" means the number 12 will be included in the inequality, so the sum of b and t is at most 12.

We can write this as b + t ≤ 12.

Now we can look at the second statement:

"There are at least 17 wheels altogether."

"At least" means the number 17 will be included in the inequality.

Since each bicycle has 2 wheels and each tricycle has 3 wheels, the sum of 2b and 3t is at least 17.

That can be written as 2b + 3t ≥ 17.

Our final system of inequalities:

b + t ≤ 12

2b + 3t ≥ 17

This matches option C.

Hope this helps!
