Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

6.A = 23 × 3 × 5 B = 22 × 3 × 52

Given:

The two numbers are

$A=23\times 3\times 5$

$B=22\times 3\times 52$

To find:

The highest common factor (HCF) of A and B

Solution:

We have,

$A=23\times 3\times 5$ ...(i)

$B=22\times 3\times 52$

All the factors of A are prime but the factors of B are not prime. So, it can be written as

$B=2\times 11\times 3\times 13\times 2\times 2$ ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), it is clear that 3 is the only common factor of A and B. So,

$HCF(A,B) = 3$

Therefore, the highest common factor (HCF) of A and B is 3.

Use matrix addition to solve this equation: B + 15 −7 4 0 1 2 = 1 2 12 4 0 2 b11 = b12 = b13 = b21 = 4 b22 = −1 b23 = 0

Arada [10]

Answer:

$b_{11}=-14,b_{12}=9,b_{13}=8,b_{21}=4,b_{22}=-1,b_{23}=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given matrix addition is

$B+\begin{bmatrix}15&-7&4\\ 0&1&2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&12\\ 4&0&2\end{bmatrix}$

We need to find the elements of matrix B.

Let $B=\begin{bmatrix}b_{11}&b_{12}&b_{13}\\ b_{21}&b_{22}&b_{23}\end{bmatrix}$

Substitute the value of matrix.

$\begin{bmatrix}b_{11}&b_{12}&b_{13}\\ b_{21}&b_{22}&b_{23}\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}15&-7&4\\ 0&1&2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&12\\ 4&0&2\end{bmatrix}$

After addition of two matrix we get

$\begin{bmatrix}b_{11}+15&b_{12}-7&b_{13}+4\\ b_{21}+0&b_{22}+1&b_{23}+2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&12\\ 4&0&2\end{bmatrix}$

On equating both sides.

$b_{11}+15=1\Rightarrow b_{11}=-14$

$b_{12}-7=2\Rightarrow b_{12}=9$

$b_{13}+4=12\Rightarrow b_{13}=8$

$b_{21}+0=4\Rightarrow b_{21}=4$

$b_{22}+1=0\Rightarrow b_{22}=-1$

$b_{23}+2=2\Rightarrow b_{23}=0$

Therefore, the elements of matrix B are $b_{11}=-14,b_{12}=9,b_{13}=8,b_{21}=4,b_{22}=-1,b_{23}=0$ .
