Use Substitution or Elimination

1. pick one equation and solve for a variable

6p + 1m = 9

1m = 9-6p

m = 9 - 6p/ 1

m= 9-6p

2. substitute m into one of the equations given

4p + 2 ( 9-6p) = 10

4p + 18 - 12p = 10

4p - 12p = 10 - 18

-8p = -8 (divide both sides by -8)

p = 1

3. Insert p=1 into any of the equations

6p+1m = 9

6(1)+1m =9

6 + 1m = 9

1m = 9-6

1m= 3

m = 3

evelyn has $638.54 in her checking account. she must maintain a $500 balance to avoid a fee. she wrote a check for $159.50 today
Pachacha [2.7K]

The inequality is:

x + $488.04 ≥ $500

And the solution is

x ≥ $11.96

<h3>How to write and solve the inequality?</h3>

First, let's define x as the amount that she needs to deposit.

Now, we know that at the moment Evely has $638.54 in her bank account. Then she pays for $638.54, then she writes a check for $159.50, then we need to subtract that:

$638.54 - $159.50 = $488.04

Now she needs to deposit an amount x, such that her balance is at least $500, then we can write the inequality:

x + $488.04 ≥ $500

Solving that for x, we get:

x ≥ $500 - $488.04 = $11.96

She needs to deposit at least $11.96.

True or false: The factor by which a row operation changed the determinant is equal to the determinant of the elementary matrix
Klio2033 [76]

The given statement is false.

What is the effect of a row operation on a determinant?

The factor by which a row operation intends to change the determinant is not equal to the determinant of the elementary matrix corresponding to that row operation. Rather, when a row is scaled up by a factor in a matrix, the determinant of that matrix also scales up by that factor.

Similarly, the factor by which a row operation changes the determinant is equal to the factor times the determinant of the elementary matrix corresponding to that row operation.
