Answer:666 hours

Step-by-step explanation: The reason is that if you turn the problem into an equation it would be h=Lx. h= hours. L=how long the log lasts and x=how many logs. So when you plug in the numbers you get 101010=L*151515. So we need to find L. What you do is you divide both sides by 151515 since it is the opposite of multiplication. 151515/151515 gets crossed out and 101010/151515 is .6666666666666 irrational. So the equation now looks like .666666 irrational=L. So .66666 irrational is your L. Know you plug .666666 irrational into your original equation. Which is now h=.6666 irrational*x. So to find how long the fire keeps on burning with 999 logs you just plug 999 into x and now your equation looks like this h=.6666 irrational*999. If you multiply .6666 irrational by 999 your final answer is 666.

Suppose the coefficient matrix of a system of linear equations has a pivot position in every row. Explain why the system is cons
mestny [16]

Answer: A.

The system is consistent because the rightmost column of the augmented matrix is not a pivot column.

Explanation: a system is consistent if and only if the rightmost column of the augmented matrix is not a pivot column. Since every column of the coefficient matrix is a pivot column, none of the leading coefficients are in the rightmost column of the augmented matrix. Therefore the rightmost column of the augmented matrix cannot be a pivot column and the system must be consistent.

Marisol is preparing a care package to send to her brother. The package will include a board game that weighs 4 lb and several 1
Gelneren [198K]
So what we gotta do is isolate the variable by
writing it out like this
4 1/4 25 those are the numbers where those go are like this
4x - 1/4 < 25 then move on to the next line on here we write out
4x + 1/4 - 1/4 < 25 + 1/4 (The reason why i put + 1/4 is because you have to isolate the variable by doing addition as well And i always find it easier to convert the fractions to decimals then after you make that line you make the next one like this you have to add 1/4 to 4x then take it away (which is 4x) then put that to the side like this 4x ? ? then we need to find those two ?s by adding 25 and 1/4 (or o.25) which is 25.25 then we need to add that to the second answer 4x ? 25.25 when you have this you need to find out which one is bigger so it is 4x<25.25 (or 25 1/4) then we need to divide 4 and 25.25 to get 6.25 so
the answer is  x < 6.25 so c is your awnser
