3 girls for 2 boys in the class.

Ratio: $\frac{3 girls}{2 boys}$

This means that for every 3 girls in the class, there are 2 boys. The number of boys and the number of girls in the class can be written as a ratio.

3/5 = girls in the class

2/5 = boys in the class

Megan made a paper chain that was 4m long. Mason’s chain was 479 cm long. Who’s was the longest? By how much?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by converting 4 m into cm:

$4m * \frac{10^{2}cm}{1m}$ $= 4*10^{2}cm=400cm$

Since Megan's chain is only 400 cm long, Mason's chain is longer by 79 cm.

X-3/35=2/15 please help me and answer it with an explanation

-BARSIC- [3]

I believe x = 23/105 because you would have to add 3/35 to both sides and when you add 2/15 to 3/35 you get an answer of 23/105.

Hope this helps!

Solve the system of equations by row-reduction. At each step, show clearly the symbol of the linear combinations that allow you

adell [148]

Answer:

1) The solution of the system is

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&5\\x_2&=&8\\x_3&=&-13\end{array}\right$

2) The solution of the system is

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&2\\x_2&=&-7\\x_3&=&-1\end{array}\right$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To solve the system of equations

$\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}&3x_2&-5x_3&=&89\\6x_1&&+x_3&=&17\\x_1&-x_2&+8x_3&=&-107\end{array}\right$

using the row reduction method you must:

Step 1: Write the augmented matrix of the system

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 6 & 0 & 1 & 17 \\\\ 1 & -1 & 8 & -107 \end{array} \right]$

Step 2: Swap rows 1 and 2

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 6 & 0 & 1 & 17 \\\\ 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 1 & -1 & 8 & -107 \end{array} \right]$

Step 3: $\left(R_1=\frac{R_1}{6}\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 1 & -1 & 8 & -107 \end{array} \right]$

Step 4: $\left(R_3=R_3-R_1\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 0 & -1 & \frac{47}{6} & - \frac{659}{6} \end{array} \right]$

Step 5: $\left(R_2=\frac{R_2}{3}\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & -1 & \frac{47}{6} & - \frac{659}{6} \end{array} \right]$

Step 6: $\left(R_3=R_3+R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & 0 & \frac{37}{6} & - \frac{481}{6} \end{array} \right]$

Step 7: $\left(R_3=\left(\frac{6}{37}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right]$

Step 8: $\left(R_1=R_1-\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right]$

Step 9: $\left(R_2=R_2+\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 8 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right]$

Step 10: Rewrite the system using the row reduced matrix:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 8 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right] \rightarrow \left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&5\\x_2&=&8\\x_3&=&-13\end{array}\right$

2) To solve the system of equations

$\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}4x_1&-x_2&+3x_3&=&12\\2x_1&&+9x_3&=&-5\\x_1&+4x_2&+6x_3&=&-32\end{array}\right$

using the row reduction method you must:

Step 1:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 4 & -1 & 3 & 12 \\\\ 2 & 0 & 9 & -5 \\\\ 1 & 4 & 6 & -32 \end{array} \right]$

Step 2: $\left(R_1=\frac{R_1}{4}\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 2 & 0 & 9 & -5 \\\\ 1 & 4 & 6 & -32 \end{array} \right]$

Step 3: $\left(R_2=R_2-\left(2\right)R_1\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 0 & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{15}{2} & -11 \\\\ 1 & 4 & 6 & -32 \end{array} \right]$

Step 4: $\left(R_3=R_3-R_1\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 0 & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{15}{2} & -11 \\\\ 0 & \frac{17}{4} & \frac{21}{4} & -35 \end{array} \right]$

Step 5: $\left(R_2=\left(2\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & \frac{17}{4} & \frac{21}{4} & -35 \end{array} \right]$

Step 6: $\left(R_1=R_1+\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & \frac{9}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & \frac{17}{4} & \frac{21}{4} & -35 \end{array} \right]$

Step 7: $\left(R_3=R_3-\left(\frac{17}{4}\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{9}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & 0 & - \frac{117}{2} & \frac{117}{2} \end{array} \right]$

Step 8: $\left(R_3=\left(- \frac{2}{117}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & \frac{9}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]$

Step 9: $\left(R_1=R_1-\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]$

Step 10: $\left(R_2=R_2-\left(15\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -7 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]$

Step 11:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -7 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]\rightarrow \left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&2\\x_2&=&-7\\x_3&=&-1\end{array}\right$

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line<br> (-6.-6), (2, -4)<br> The x-intercept is

Marianna [84]

Answer:

x-int = 18

y-int = -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope-intercept form y=mx + b

To find the slope, substitute the two points into the slope formula and solve.

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x1 - x1} \\m = \frac{-4 - (-6)}{2 - (-6)} \\m = \frac{2}{8}\\m= \frac{1}{4}$

Substitute a random point (2,-4) and m=1/4 into slope-intercept form

y = mx+b

-4 = 1/4 (2) + b

-4 = 2/4 + b

-4 = 1/2 + b

Isolate b to solve

b = -4 - 1/2

b = -8/2 - 1/2

b = -9/2 <= this is the y-intercept

b is the y-intercept in slope-intercept form

Substitute b= -9/2 and m=1/4 to get the equation of the line.

y = 1/4 x - 9/2

Substitute y for 0 to find the x intercept

y = 1/4 x - 9/2

0 = 1/4 x - 9/2

9/2 = 1/4 x

x = (9/2) / (1/4)

x = (9/2) X (4/1)

x = 36/2

x = 18
