Solve it by reversing what is done to the number. You don't need an equation to do that.

17 is 7 less than ...

so adding 7 to 17, making 24, will give you ... one-fourth of the number. If 24 is one-fouth of the number, multiplying 24 by 4 will give you the number. Doing that tells you the number is 96.

_____

You can do the same solution process using an equation.

(1/4)n - 7 = 17 . . . . . 7 less than 1/4 of a number is 17

(1/4)n = 24 . . . . . . . add 7

n = 4·24 = 96 . . . . multiply by 4

The number is 96.

Answer:

A) \left[\begin{array}{cc}0&-1\\1&0\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The rotation matrix for a clockwise rotation through angle θ is given by ...

M=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos{(\theta)}&-\sin{(\theta)}\\\sin{(\theta)}&\cos{(\theta)}\end{array}\right]

What is the solution to this system of equations using the linear combination
ozzi

Answer: (2, -3)

The solution of the equation   4x+y=5   and 3x+y=3 be (2 , -3) .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the equations are .

4x+y=5

3x+y=3

Subtracted 3x+y=3 from 4x+y=5  .

Thus

4x - 3x + y - y = 5 - 3

x = 2

Put in the equation 4x+y=5  .

4 × 2 + y = 5

8 + y = 5

y = -8 + 5

y = -3

Therefore the solution of the equation   4x+y=5   and 3x+y=3 be (2 , -3) .

(2, -3)
