4 = (r-2) t
8 = (r+2) t
4 = (r-2) * [8/(r+2)]
4 = (8r-16)/ (r+2) . . .multiply by 2
4r + 8 = 8r - 16
4r = 24
r = 6
hope this helps
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
equation:
x + 4 = 16
to solve for x, subttract 4 on each side:
x + 4 - 4 = 16 - 4
x = 12
Answer:
2 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question that,
Equation that represent Lisa's total amount of money
f(x) = 20 - 13x
Equation that represent Joey's total amount of money
g(x) = x² - 10
To find weeks, x, after which they will have same amount of money, we will equate both equation
<h3>20 - 13x = x² - 10</h3>
x² - 10 - 20 + 13x = 0
x² - 30 + 13x = 0
x² + 13x - 30 = 0
(x - 2)(x + 15) = 0
x = 2 or x = -15
Weeks, x, can not be negative so we will reject x = -15
Hence, after 2nd week Lisa and Joey will have the same amount of money save.
In order for the inverse to exist, the matrix cannot be singular, so we need to first examine the conditions for existence of the inverse.
Compute the determinant. The easiest way might be a cofactor expansion along either the first row or third column; I'll do the first.

The matrix is then singular whenever

.
With this in mind, compute the inverse.
The answer is x=17, well I think think but then again I'm not so sure
