How many equations in the same variables must be in a set to solve a system of linear equations?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ira [324]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

For a unique solution, there must be as many consistent, independent equations as there are variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each equation lets you write an expression for one variable in terms of the others in that equation. That expression can be substituted throughout the system, reducing the number of equations and variables by one each.

After n-1 such substitutions in a system of n equations, there will be one equation left. If that is an equation in one variable, then the solution to the system can be easily found. If more than one variable remains (> n variables in n equations), then the system cannot be solved for definitive values of each of the variables.

___

If the equations are inconsistent, there is no solution. If the equations are dependent, then there is no unique solution.

Could someone please explain this problem to me?
disa [49]

Answer:

8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all 4 angles are congruent, the sides are proportional.

the scale factor is 5/30 = 1/6.

meaning x = 16(1/6)=8/3.

It is believed that 36% of the US population has never been married, 32% are divorced, 27% are married, and 5% are widowed. You
Katena32 [7]

Answer: the smallest number of people required for the sample to meet the conditions for performing inference is 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

36% of US population has never been married

32% are divorced

27% are married

5% are widowed

Taking a simple random sample of individuals to test this claim;

we need expected count in each cell to be at least 5, here the smallest proportion is 5% = 0.05

so we only need to satisfy condition for its expected count;

n × 0.05 ≥ 5

n = 5 / 0.05 = 100

Therefore the smallest number of people required for the sample to meet the conditions for performing inference is 100

What is the value of t in the equation 3(2t + 5) = 5t +25
zmey [24]
Distribute 3 
6t+15=5t+25
subtract 5t from 6t
t+15=25
subtract 15 from both sides
t=10
