For this case we have the following system of equations:
5x + 3y = 17
-8x - 3y = 9
We can rewrite the system like:
Ax = b
Where,
A = [5 3; -8 -3]
b = [17; 9]
x = [x; y]
The determinant of matrix A is given by:
lAl = ((5) * (- 3)) - ((3) * (- 8))
lAl = (-15) - (-24)
lAl = -15 + 24
lAl = 9
Answer:
The determinant for solving this linear system is:
lAl = 9
The rational number would be 16
Answer:
<em>Peter now has 54 baseball cards</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
Assume Peter had x baseball cards in his collection. The 35% of his initial collection is
35 * x / 100= 0.35x
We know that those 14 new baseball cards represent a 35% of his previous collection, therefore we can set a simple equation
0.35x=14
When we solve for x, we'll know how many baseball cards Peter had before
x=14 / 0.35 = 40
Peter had 40 cards, he added 14 new baseball cards, so he now has 40+14=54
Peter now has 54 baseball cards
1.208 ounce because 30.2 divided by 25 equals 1.208 ounces
Answer:
7 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Luna's travels east and west are irrelevant to the question. He drives 3 miles north, then he drives 4 more miles north. 3 + 4 = 7, so Mr. Luna ends up 7 miles north of his home.
