2. PB and J Array Ken has made a selection of square jam sandwiches for party, which he arranges in a single layer on the table

in perfect rectangle. Sarah has brought along the same number of square peanut butter sandwiches, which she puts out, also as a single layer, to form a border vA (one sandwich wide) around Ken's Given that all of the sandwiches are the same size and they are all used, how many sandwiches could each person possibly have made?

Let's assume Ken arranged his sandwiches in a rectangular shape with length 'L' and width 'W'. Now Sarah arranged her sandwiches to form a border around Ken's rectangle. The solution diagram is attached below.

Ken needs as much sandwiches as area of rectangle i.e. number of Ken's sandwiches would be = LW.

It is clear that Sarah needs as much sandwiches as perimeter of rectangle and extra four sandwiches to put on corners. It means number of Sarah's sandwiches would be = 2·(L+W) + 4.

Given that all of the sandwiches are the same size and they are all used.

Ken and Sarah bought same number of sandwiches. So we need to solve the following equation :-

Number of Ken's sandwiches = Number of Sarah's sandwiches

LW = 2·(L+W) + 4

Using trial and error approach, we get 6 x 4 = 2 x (6 + 4) + 4.

So number of Ken's sandwiches would be LW = 6 x 4 = 24 sandwiches.

Hence, final answer is "Each person could have 24 sandwiches".

Perform the indicated row operations, then write the new matrix.
Studentka2010 [4]

The matrix is not properly formatted.

However, I'm able to rearrange the question as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\-2&3&5|3\\3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]

Operations:

2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2

-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3

Please note that the above may not reflect the original question. However, you should be able to implement my steps in your question.

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first operation:

2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2

This means that the new second row (R2) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by 2; add this to the second row

The row 1 elements are:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]

Multiply by 2

2 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right]

Add to row 2 elements are: \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&5&7|1\end{array}\right]

The second operation:

-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3

This means that the new third row (R3) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by -3; add this to the third row

The row 1 elements are:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]

Multiply by -3

-3 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right]

Add to row 2 elements are: \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]

Hence, the new matrix is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]
