Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation: first you need to pretend that the absolute value bars are parentheses. Then substitute a with any number less that five, for example z=3

Now we can write our new equation: (3-6)-(3-5)

now we have to determine if the final answer inside the parentheses is positive or negative. In the first parentheses 3-6=-3 with is negative. In our second parentheses we have 3-5=-2 which is a also negative.

Knowing that both parentheses are negative results we can set up an equation using z instead of 3:

-(z-6)-(-(z-5)) is our new equation. If we simplify this equation we get 1 for an answer

Answer: 6 - 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

|z - 6| - |z - 5|    ; z < 5

Since z < 5, then

|z - 6| will be the absolute value of a negative number. Replace the absolute value with a negative and parentheses:

-(z - 6) =  -z + 6

|z - 5| will be the absolute value of a negative number. Replace the absolute value with a negative and parentheses:  

-(z - 5) = -z + 5

Now subtract them without the absolute value signs:

-z + 6 - (-z + 5)

Distribute the negative sign:

-z + 6 + z - 5

-z + z = 0 which leaves:

6 - 5

Suppose y varies inversely with x. Write an equation if y=40 when x=16
Semmy [17]
Y = 40 when x = 16, so 40 = k/16

Therefore, k = 640

So, y = 640/x

Solve the matrix equation by using inverse matrices.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

x=-7, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the matrix equation

\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-2\\-1&3\end{array}\right] \cdot \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}-18\\13\end{array}\right]

Find the inverse matrix for the matrix

\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-2\\-1&3\end{array}\right]

1. The determinant is

\left|\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-2\\-1&3\end{array}\right]\right|=2\cdot 3-(-1)\cdot (-2)=6-2=4

2.

a_{11}=2 \Rightarrow A_{11}=3\\ \\a_{12}=-2 \Rightarrow A_{12}=-(-1)=1\\ \\a_{21}=-1 \Rightarrow A_{21}=-(-2)=2\\ \\a_{22}=3 \Rightarrow A_{22}=2

3. Inverse matrix is

\dfrac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&1\\2&2\end{array}\right]^T=\dfrac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&2\\1&2\end{array}\right]

So, the solution of the equation is

\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]=\dfrac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&2\\1&2\end{array}\right]\cdot \left[\begin{array}{c}-18\\13\end{array}\right]=\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{cc}3\cdot(-18)+2\cdot 13\\1\cdot (-18)+2\cdot 13\end{array}\right]=\dfrac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{c}-28\\8\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}-7\\2\end{array}\right]

Answer:

Carla's suitcase was a better purchase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Carla and Daniel bought identical suitcases at different stores. Carla's suitcase originally cost $75 and was discounted 19% Daniel's suitcase original cost $85 and was on sale for 20% off the original price. Which suitcase was the cheaper?

Solution:

Cost Price of Carla's suitcase = $75

       Discount% for Carla = 19%

       The amount paid by Carla is,

       

       So, the amount paid by Carla was, $60.75.

Cost Price of Jeana's suitcase = $85

       Discount% for Jeana = 20%

       The amount paid by Jeana is,

       

       So, the amount paid by Jeana was, $68.

Carla's suitcase was a better purchase.
