Jake ate 1/6 of the cookies at the party if he ate 5 cookies how many cookies were there in all
1 answer:
If Jake ate 1/6 of the cookies at the party and we know he ate 5 cookies. We must find out how many cookies there are in all.
Now x here represents how many total cookies are at the party.
We have to simply find out what 1 was multiplied by to get 5.
We can do this by dividing.
5 ÷ 1 = 5
So the numerators (the top numbers) were multiplied by 5. We can do the same to the denominators (the bottom numbers) to get the total number of cookies.
Lets multiply.
6 x 5 = 30
So the total number of cookies is 30
Good Luck! <3

Answer:
Option b is correct (8,13).
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 4y = 4
10x - 6y =2
it can be represented in matrix form as
A=
X=
B=
i.e, AX=B
or X= A⁻¹ B
A⁻¹ = 1/|A| * Adj A
determinant of A = |A|= (7*-6) - (-4*10)
= (-42)-(-40)
= (-42) + 40 = -2
so, |A| = -2
Adj A=
A⁻¹ = / -2
A⁻¹ =
X= A⁻¹ B
X=
X=
X=
X=
x= 8, y= 13
solution set= (8,13).
Option b is correct.
