Cramer's rule tells you that the value of x in the system of equations

ax+by=c\\dx+ey=f

is given by

x=\dfrac{ce-fb}{ae-bd}

In matrix terms, this is the determinant of the coefficient matrix with the right-side constants replacing the x-coefficients divided by the determinant of the matrix of coefficients. The value of y can be found by doing similar math with the numerator being the determinant of the coefficient matrix with the right-side constants replacing the y-coefficients. For systems of higher dimension, the column of right-side coefficients replaces each column of variable coefficients in turn.

For your equations, this evaluates to

x=\dfrac{(-4)\cdot (-1)-(-1)\cdot 3}{\frac{-1}{2}\cdot (-1)-(-1)\cdot 3}=\dfrac{7}{\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)}\\\\x=2

Answer:

  7. Distributive Property

  8. 8x +2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

7. The equation matches the pattern ...

  a(b + c) = ab + ac  . . . . . . .  statement of Distributive Property

with a=√2, b=5, c=4

__

8. The one-time charge of 2.50 will appear added in the equation one time (and not multiplied by anything). The number of tickets (x) will be multiplied by the ticket charge (8) and added to the one-time charge. Only one answer choice does that:

  8x + 2.5
