£840 - 100%
100%-5%=95%
840*95%:100% = 798 (£) - <span>the number sought</span>

To decrease by percentages you do 100 minus the percent you want to take away. In this case it's 100-5=95. Then divide 95 by 100 which is 0.95. This is the multiplier. Finally, times the multiplier by the number for your answer. In this situation it's 0.95*840=798. The answer is £798.

the width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. The area of the rectangle is48 units. What is the width, in units, of the

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

put unknown as y

area of rectangle = width × long

y(y - 2)=48

y² -2y =48

u can use scientific calculator to find this

y²-2y-48=0

(y-8)(y+6)=0

y=8 y=-6

take the positive value and ignore the negative value

width=y-2 long=8

8-2=6

I hope this help you :)

If a 12 ounce glass of ale contains 124 calories, how many calories are in 10 ounces?

Anestetic [448]

Answer

103.333333333

Explanation

Since 12oz of ale contains 124 calories, you have to divide 124 by 12 to find how many calories are in 1 oz of ale. then you multiply 10.33 by 10 to find how many calories are in a 10oz glass of ale.

Find the inverse of the given matrix, if it exists.Aequals=left bracket Start 3 By 3 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 1 2nd Column 0 3

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$A^{-1}=\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} \frac{1}{9} & \frac{4}{27} & - \frac{2}{27} \\\\ \frac{8}{9} & \frac{5}{27} & \frac{11}{27} \\\\ - \frac{4}{9} & \frac{2}{27} & - \frac{1}{27} \end{array} \right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the inverse of $A=\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & -2 \\\\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\\\ -4 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right]$

To find the inverse matrix, augment it with the identity matrix and perform row operations trying to make the identity matrix to the left. Then to the right will be inverse matrix.

So, augment the matrix with identity matrix:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 4&1&3&0&1&0 \\\\ -4&2&3&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 1 multiplied by 4 from row 2

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ -4&2&3&0&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Add row 1 multiplied by 4 to row 3

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&2&-5&4&0&1\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 2 multiplied by 2 from row 3

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&0&-27&12&-2&1\end{array}\right]$

Divide row 3 by −27

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&0&1&- \frac{4}{9}&\frac{2}{27}&- \frac{1}{27}\end{array}\right]$

Add row 3 multiplied by 2 to row 1

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&0&\frac{1}{9}&\frac{4}{27}&- \frac{2}{27} \\\\ 0&1&11&-4&1&0 \\\\ 0&0&1&- \frac{4}{9}&\frac{2}{27}&- \frac{1}{27}\end{array}\right]$

Subtract row 3 multiplied by 11 from row 2

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&0&\frac{1}{9}&\frac{4}{27}&- \frac{2}{27} \\\\ 0&1&0&\frac{8}{9}&\frac{5}{27}&\frac{11}{27} \\\\ 0&0&1&- \frac{4}{9}&\frac{2}{27}&- \frac{1}{27}\end{array}\right]$

As can be seen, we have obtained the identity matrix to the left. So, we are done.
