<u>Story Problem</u>
Mr. Bill Gates bought a house in Italy for
and a house in Canada for
. What is the total cost of the two houses?
we know that
The total cost is the sum of the cost each house
so

therefore
the answer is
The total cost is 
Answer : x = 20
Explanation :
3x + 2x +20 + 4x - 20 = 180
(3+2+4=9)
9x + 20 - 20
The 20s cancel each other out because one is positive and the other is negative
9x = 180
9x/9 = 180/9
X = 180 divided by 9
X = 20
Answer:
Infinite number of solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given system of equations



Firs we find determinant of system of equations
Let a matrix A=
and B=![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1\\1\\-3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-1%5C%5C1%5C%5C-3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)


Determinant of given system of equation is zero therefore, the general solution of system of equation is many solution or no solution.
We are finding rank of matrix

Rank of matrix A and B are equal.Therefore, matrix A has infinite number of solutions.
Therefore, rank of matrix is equal to rank of B.
20% of 55 is 11
Workingout: 20%/100% = 0.2
0.2 x 55 = 11
:)
30, you can devide 135 by 4.5
