Answer:
<u>Option b. (x = 3, y = 20, z = -14)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
2x + 2y + 3z = 4
5x + 3y + 5z = 5
3x + 4y + 6z = 5
Solve using Cramer’s rule
∴ ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&3\\5&3&5\\3&4&6\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\5\\5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%263%5C%5C5%263%265%5C%5C3%264%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C5%5C%5C5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
∴A = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&3\\5&3&5\\3&4&6\end{array}\right] = -1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%263%5C%5C5%263%265%5C%5C3%264%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20-1)
Ax = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2&3\\5&3&5\\5&4&6\end{array}\right] = -3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%262%263%5C%5C5%263%265%5C%5C5%264%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20-3)
Ay = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&4&3\\5&5&5\\3&5&6\end{array}\right] =-20\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%264%263%5C%5C5%265%265%5C%5C3%265%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D-20%5C%5C)
Az = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&4\\5&3&5\\3&4&5\end{array}\right] = 14](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%264%5C%5C5%263%265%5C%5C3%264%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%2014)
∴ x = Ax/A = -3/-1 = 3
y = Ay/A = -20/-1 = 20
z = Az/A = 14/-1 = -14
<u>So, the answer is option b. (x = 3, y = 20, z = -14)</u>
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
b = 0.6
Discussion:
The question can be written as
b - 7.4 = -6.8 => (now add 7.4 to each side)
b - 7.4 + 7.4 = -6.8 + 7.4 => ( note: -7.4 + 7.4 = 0)
b = 0.6
Thank you,
MrB
It can be any number from 450000 to 549999. This is due to the fact that
when figures like this are reported they are either rounded up or down.
It would be 179,000. You just multiply them together.
