<h3>Given</h3>
  • 5 movies and 2 video games rent for $26
  • 3 movies and 8 video games rent for $53
<h3>Find</h3>
  • the rental cost of each
<h3>Solution</h3>

Let m and v represent the rental cost of a movie and a video game, respectively. The given information can be expressed in two equations:

... 5m +2v = 26

... 3m +8v = 53

Using Cramer's rule, we can find the solution to be

... m = (2·53 -8·26)/(2·3-8·5) = -102/-34 = 3

... v = (26·3-53·5)/-34 = 5.50

The rental cost for each movie is $3; for each video game is $5.50.

_____

The Vedic math variation of Cramer's Rule tells you the solution to

  • ax+by=c
  • dx+ey=f

is ...

  • x=(bf-ec)/(bd-ea)
  • y=(cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

If 5= 5+2x then 12x= ? I’m
julsineya [31]

Answer:

12x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5= 5+2x

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5= 5-5+2x

0 = 2x

Multiply each side by 6

0*6 = 2x*6

0 = 12x

If the 7th of an AP is equal to 11 times the 11th term, find the 18th term
Zina [86]

Answer:

-33 or 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The seventh term of an AP is written as:

a + 6d

The eleventh term of an AP is written as:

a + 10d

If the 7th term is 11 times the 11th term, then;

a + 6d = 11(a + 10d)

Expand to get:

a + 6d = 11a + 110d

11a - a = 6d - 110d

10a =  - 104d

\frac{a}{d}  = -   \frac{104}{10}

\frac{a}{d}  = -   \frac{52}{5}

We must have a=-52 and d=5

Or

a=52 and d=-5

For the first case, the 18th term is :

- 52 + 5 \times 17 = 33

For the second case,

52 - 5 \times17 =  - 33

Write an absolute value equation to satisfy the given solution set shown on a number line.
balandron [24]

The absolute value equation with the wanted solutions is:

|x| - 1/2 = 0

<h3>How to find the absolute value equation?</h3>

Here we want to find an absolute value equation such that the solutions are:

x = -1/2 and x = 1/2.

Remember that the absolute value equation always changes the sign, such that the outcome is positive.

This means that:

|1/2| = 1/2

|-1/2| = 1/2

Then a trivial equation with these two solutions is:

|x| - 1/2 = 0

Where the two solutions are x = 1/2 and x = -1/2.
