Answer:
x = -44/13
y = -65/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Using matrix form means using the crammers rule
The matrix form of the expression is written as;
AX = B
taking the determinant of A;
|A| = 8(1) - 5(-1)
|A| = 8 + 5
|A| = 13
After replacing the first row with the column matrix;
|Ax| = 9(-1)-5(7)
||Ax| = -9 - 35
|Ax| = -44
x = |Ax|/|A|
x = -44/13
similarly for y
|Ay| = 8(7)+9
|Ay| = 56+9
|Ay| = 65
y = |Ay|/|A|
y = -65/13
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>
{x | x is a natural number with 6 < x < 15}
===========================================================
Explanation:
The given set is in roster notation. Think of a baseball or football team (or any sports team) how their roster lists out all of the players. In this case, each number is like a player.
The idea here is to simplify the set so we don't have to write out every single item. Instead we have a rule to make things a bit simpler.
In this case, the set {7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14} describes all natural numbers from 7 to 14
This means we can say {x | x is a natural number with 6 < x < 15}
Note how the endpoints x = 6 and x = 15 are not included. This is because there isn't a "or equal to" as part of the inequality sign. Sure enough 6 and 15 are not part of the original set.
An equivalent set would be and here we have "or equal to" involved. For this example, the endpoints x = 7 and x = 14 are included.
--------------
Something like choice A and choice D are not complete answers because we don't know if x is a whole number, natural number, rational number, real number, etc. If x was say a real number, then x = 10.75 would be involved with choice A. But 10.75 is not part of the original set.
