This is a working backwards problem. You know he has $35 at the end. Before he gave his brother $5, he would have $40, which is half of what he had before he bought the clothes, so he would have had $80. Before he spent the $40 on shoes, he would have had $120, so the answer is $120.
Where are the graphs?
the graph that will represent the points, is the one with the points on it 8 for x value and 6 for y value
In order to find a slope, there is an equation:
Y2-Y1/X2-X1
X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0
0-5= -5
3-2=1
Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.
Now, we need to find the y-intercept.
To do this, shift the original equation:
Original equation: y=-5x+b
Shifted equation: b=y+5x
Now, plug in one of the points.
Let's use (2,5)
b=5+5(2)
5*2=10
10+5=15
y-intercept=15
So, the full equation of the line would be:
y=-5x+15
9514 1404 393
Answer:
16) No
17) (c)
Step-by-step explanation:
For a lot of multiple-choice matrix problems, a simple test is all that is needed to determine the correct answer.
16) The determinant of A is (-2)(-2) -(2)(-3) = 10. So, we expect to see values in the inverse matrix that are 0.2 and 0.3. Alas, they're not there. The matrices are not inverses.
A^-1 = [[-.2, .3][-.2, -.2]]

17) The matrices are both 3×3, so their product is possible (eliminates choice D). The upper left term is different among the answer choices, so we can determine the correct one by computing that term only.
BA=C
c11 = (5)(1) +(7)(5) +(3)(-1) = 5 +35 -3 = 37
This matches the third choice (C).
If you use a calculator to compute the full matrix product, it matches choice C in all details.
