Explanation: A midsegment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. This segment has two special properties. It is always parallel to the third side, and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.

Hopefully I could Help :)

Tan weighs 146 pounds. Minh weighs 15 pounds more than Tan. How much does Minh weigh?

dimaraw [331]

Given parameters:

Weight of Tan = 146pounds

Unknown:

Weight of Minh = ?

Following this problem step wisely, we can derive a solvable algebraic equation;

Let the weight of Minh = M

In the second sentence, we see that Minh weighs 15pounds more than Tan;

So;

M = 15 + Weight of Tan

Since we already know the weight of Tan,

Weight of Minh = 15 + 146 = 161pounds

We clearly see that Minh's weight will be 161 pounds.

Solve the following system by any method -8x-8y=0 -8x+2y=-20

iVinArrow [24]

$\fbox{Solution by using Matrix}$

$\text{Linear Equation} = -8x-8y=0 , -8x+2y=-20$

$\text{Rewrite the linear equations above as a matrix}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\-8&2&-20\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{Apply to Row2 : Row2 + Row1}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\-8&-6&-20\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{ Simplify rows}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{Note: The matrix is now in echelon form.}$ $\text{The steps below are for back substitution.}$

$\text{Apply to Row1 : Row1 + 8 Row2}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&0&80/30\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{ Simplify rows}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&10/3\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{Therefore, the solution is}$

$x= \dfrac{10}{3} \ \text{and} \ \ y=\dfrac{10}{3}$
