Answer:

<h2>The solution to the system of equation is x = 8, y = 13</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equation using matrix equation can be solved using crammers rule. Given the equation;

7x-4y=4

10x-6y=2

The equation will be rewritten in the format AX = B

matrix A will be 2*2 matrix

X will be a column matrix containing the variables

B will be a column matrix

\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-4\\10&-6\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x&y\\\\\end{array}\right] = \right] \left[\begin{array}{c}4&2\\\\\end{array}\right]

first we will find the determinant of the matrix A

|A|=7(-6)-(10)(-4)\\|A|= -42+40\\|A|= -2

To get the value of x, we will substitute the column matrix at the right hand side to replace the first column pf matrix A, then we look for the determinant and divide the determinant by the determinant of matrix A itself.

|X|=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-4\\2&-6\\\end{array}\right]\\|X|= -24+8\\|X|=-16

x = |X|/|A|

x = -16/-2

x = 8

Similarly for y, we will substitute the column matrix at the right hand side to replace the second column of matrix A, then we look for the determinant and divide the determinant by the determinant of matrix A itself.

|Y|=\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&4\\10&2\\\end{array}\right]\\|Y|= 14-40\\|Y|=-26

y = |Y|/|A|

y = -26/-2

y = 13

The solution to the system of equation is x = 8, y = 13

Rob peeled 125 oranges in 5 hours. At that rate, how many oranges<br> would he peel in 12 minutes?
marin [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 5 \ oranges}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion.

\frac{oranges}{minutes} =\frac{oranges}{minutes}

He can peel 125 oranges in 5 hours. First, let's find the minutes in 5 hours.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so multiply 60 and 5 (60*5=300). There are 300 minutes in 5 hours.

\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{oranges}{minutes}

We don't know how many oranges he can peel in 12 minutes. So we say he can peel x oranges in 12 minutes.

\frac{125 \ oranges}{300 \ minutes}=\frac{x \ oranges}{12 \ minutes}

\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 }

Solve for x by isolating it. x is being divided by 12. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 12.

12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=\frac{x \ }{12 \ }*12

12*\frac{125 \ }{300 \ }=x

12*0.416666667=x

5=x

Rob can peel 5 oranges in 12 minutes.

If LR = 12 and PR = 4, find LP. Explain.
Softa [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

LP = 8 because LR + PR = LP according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and 8 + 4 = 12 using substitution

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

From this problem, we know that:

LR = 12

PR = 4

So here we have a Line segment. Recall that a line segment has two endpoints, places where they end or stop and they are named after their endpoints, so the line segment here is LR whose measure is 12. Then, according to Segment Addition Postulate it is true that:

LP + PR = LR

By substituting LR = 12 and PR = 4, we have:

LP + 4 = 12

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

LP + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

LP + 0 = 8

Finally:

LP = 8

What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of the linear equation 3x-6y=2
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The x-intercept is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to note that the x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0. So we plug in y = 0 and see what the x value is.

3x - 6y = 2

3x - 6(0) = 2

3x = 2

x = 2/3

The y-intercept is the opposite. It is the y value when x = 0. So we do the same with the other term.

3x - 6y = 2

3(0) - 6y = 2

-6y = 2

y = -2/6

y = -1/3
