How is subtracting-4x from 9x similar to subtracting -4 from 9?

Question:

How is subtracting -4x from 9x similar to subtraction -4 from 9?

Answer:

If both of them have the same variable lets say this:

2a + 2a = 4a
Just add 2 + 2 and then keep the a later at the end since they both have the same letter.

So in this case, it will be the same as subtracting -4 from 9 because they both have the same variables so the x would stay the same:

-4x + 9x = 5x
would be the answer.

Hope this helped!

Option D. D has the matrix of constants [[12], [11], [4]].

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

With the given equations, we can form matrices to represent them.

The coefficients of x, y, and z form a matrix of order 3 ×3, the variables x, y, and z form a matrix of order 1 ×3 and the constants form a matrix of order 1 ×3.

Step 2:

The linear system A is represented as

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}12&1&1\\1&-11&0\\1&-1&4\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]$ $= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}26\\17\\23\end{array}\right]$ .

Step 3:

The linear system B is represented as

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&1&1\\1&-11&0\\1&-1&12\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]$ $= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}23\\17\\26\end{array}\right]$ .

Step 4:

The linear system C is represented as

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1&0\\1&-1&1\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]$ $= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\11\\12\end{array}\right]$ .

Step 5:

The linear system D is represented as

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1&0\\1&-1&1\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]$ $= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}12\\11\\4\end{array}\right]$ .
