Answer: β ≠ ±1
Step-by-step explanation: For a system of equations to have an unique solution, its determinant must be different from 0: det |A| ≠ 0. So,
det
≠ 0
Determinant of a 3x3 matrix is calculated by:
det ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta&1-\beta\\2&2&0\\2-2\beta&4&0\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta\\2&2\\2-2\beta&4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%26%5Cbeta%261-%5Cbeta%5C%5C2%262%260%5C%5C2-2%5Cbeta%264%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%26%5Cbeta%5C%5C2%262%5C%5C2-2%5Cbeta%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

β ≠ ±1
For the system to have only one solution, β ≠ 1 or β ≠ -1.
Answer:
x = -5 and x+1( consecutive integer) = -4
obviously x is smaller than the next integer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first integer be x
hence the consecutive integer is x +1
according to the give condition
x + 6(x + 1) = -29
x + 6x + 6 = -29
7x = -29 -6
7 x = -35
x = -35/7
x = -5
x + 1 = -5 + 1 = -4
GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE! : )
I don't know if this is right but I think it is $4500
