Flat out answer: 8 / 23

This problem requires you to combine like terms, which essentially means to combine same types of variables.

For example, 2x + 3x - 5y is an equation that is not yet simplified. 2x and 3x both have the same sharing variable labeled as "x". These can be combined to become 5x. Therefore this equation can be simplified to 5x - 5y. You cannot do anything with 5x and 5y because the variable "x" and the variable "y" are different, therefore you cannot combine like terms.

Using this simple algebraic property, we can add 5n and 3/4n together because they share the variable "n". This gives us 5.75n (since 3/4 as a decimal is 0.75). Now your equation is 5.75n = 2 and all you need to do is divide 2 by 5.75 and you get your value for n!

So,

2 ÷ 5.75 = 0.347826087

which is not the prettiest answer, so let's use our knowledge of fractions.

2 ÷ (5 and 3/4ths)

equals

2 ÷ (23/4ths)

which is

2 × (4/23)

which can be shown as

(46/23) × (4/23)

which is this ugly fraction

(184/529)

which is simplified to

8/23

the value n equals 8/23rds!

hope this helps

Simplify the expression -3 (b-7)

Nataliya [291]

Simply distribute the -3 across the b and -7.

-3(b - 7) = (-3 * b) + (-3 * -7) = -3b + 21

Hope this was helpful, if it wasn't just drop me a DM explaining what didn't make sense.

For this exercise assume that all matrices are ntimesn. Each part of this exercise is an implication of the form "If "statement

inna [77]

Answer:

C. True; by the Invertible Matrix Theorem if the equation Ax=0 has only the trivial solution, then the matrix is invertible. Thus, A must also be row equivalent to the n x n identity matrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Invertible matrix Theorem is a Theorem which gives a list of equivalent conditions for an n X n matrix to have an inverse. For the sake of this question, we would look at only the conditions needed to answer the question.

There is an n×n matrix C such that CA= $I_n$ .
There is an n×n matrix D such that AD= $I_n$ .
The equation Ax=0 has only the trivial solution x=0.
A is row-equivalent to the n×n identity matrix $I_n$ .
For each column vector b in $R^n$ , the equation Ax=b has a unique solution.
The columns of A span $R^n$ .

Therefore the statement:

If there is an n X n matrix D such that AD=I, then there is also an n X n matrix C such that CA = I is true by the conditions for invertibility of matrix:

The equation Ax=0 has only the trivial solution x=0.

A is row-equivalent to the n×n identity matrix $I_n$ .

The correct option is C.
