The sum of two numbers is 40 . One number is 4 times as large as the other.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>x+4x=40. 5x=40. x=40\5. x=8 8 is one of the numbers. To find the other number we must multiply 8 by 4 which equals to 32. so the numbers are 8 and 32. check - 8+32=40.</span>

1/4x - 2 = 3/8

First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.
$\frac{x}{4} - 2 = \frac{3}{8}$

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{3}{8} + 2$

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{19}{8}$

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.
$x = \frac{19}{8} \times 4$

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.
$x = \frac{76}{8}$

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8

Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.

Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.
$76 \div 4 = 19 \\ 8 \div 4 = 2$

Answer in fraction form: $\fbox {x = 19/2}$
Answer in decimal form: $\fbox {x = 9.5}$

What is the row echelon form of this matrix?

USPshnik [31]

The row echelon form of the matrix is presented as follows;

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2 &-5 \\ 0& 1 & -7\\ 0&0 &1 \\\end{bmatrix}$

<h3>What is the row echelon form of a matrix?</h3>

The row echelon form of a matrix has the rows consisting entirely of zeros at the bottom, and the first entry of a row that is not entirely zero is a one.

The given matrix is presented as follows;

$\begin{bmatrix}-3 &6 &15 \\ 2& -6 & 4\\ 1&0 &-1 \\\end{bmatrix}$

The conditions of a matrix in the row echelon form are as follows;

There are row having nonzero entries above the zero rows.
The first nonzero entry in a nonzero row is a one.
The location of the leading one in a nonzero row is to the left of the leading one in the next lower rows.

Dividing Row 1 by -3 gives:

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2 &-5 \\ 2& -6 & 4\\ 1&0 &-1 \\\end{bmatrix}$
