Answer:
The solution to the equation system given is:
- <u>x = 2</u>
- <u>y = -1</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must know the equations given:
- 2x + 3y = 1
- 3x + y = 5
Following Crammer's Rule, we have the matrix form:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%263%5C%5C3%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%5C%5C5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now we solve using the determinants:
![x=\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\5&1\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] } =\frac{(1*1)-(5*3)}{(2*1)-(3*3)} = \frac{1-15}{2-9} =\frac{-14}{-7} = 2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%263%5C%5C5%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%263%5C%5C3%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B%281%2A1%29-%285%2A3%29%7D%7B%282%2A1%29-%283%2A3%29%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1-15%7D%7B2-9%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B-14%7D%7B-7%7D%20%3D%202)
![y=\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1\\3&5\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] } =\frac{(2*5)-(3*1)}{(2*1)-(3*3)}=\frac{10-3}{2-9} =\frac{7}{-7}=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%261%5C%5C3%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%263%5C%5C3%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B%282%2A5%29-%283%2A1%29%7D%7B%282%2A1%29-%283%2A3%29%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B10-3%7D%7B2-9%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B-7%7D%3D-1)
Now, we can find the answer which is x= 2 and y= -1, we can replace these values in the equation to confirm the results are right, with the first equation:
- 2x + 3y = 1
- 2(2) + 3(-1)= 1
- 4 - 3 = 1
- 1 = 1
And, with the second equation:
- 3x + y = 5
- 3(2) + (-1) = 5
- 6 - 1 = 5
- 5 = 5
Answer:
5x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2x=5x
5x +10
This is an inverse or indirect variation problem that would be set up as y=k/x if you were using y and x. Since you are using h and t, it would look like this:
h=k/t, where k is the constant of variation. Fill in the formula with the h and the t they give you: 2=k/70. Multiply both sides by 70 to get a constant of variation value of 140.
O All real numbers is the range of the function
Alright, so the first step we are gonna do to solve this problem is subtract since Mason ate 5 ounces of the peanuts and so, we need to subtract 5 out of 29.8.
29.8 - 5 = 24.8
So, now there is 24.8 ounces.
Now we move onto the next step which is division. As you can see in the question it says "Then he divides the rest of the peanuts equally among 4 friends."
24. 8 ÷ 4 = 6.2
Since the answer is supposed to be a decimal..that's your answer!
So overall, each of Mason's friends get 6.2 ounces of peanuts.
Hope this helps!
