Answer:

The correct answer is a = 17/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin this problem, we should use the distributive property on the left side of the equation to get rid of the parentheses.  This means that we can multiply each term inside the parentheses by the coefficient outside the parentheses.  This is modeled below:

3a - 2 = 3/4a + 2 1/4

Next, we should change the mixed number into an improper fraction so that it is easier to work with.

3a - 2 = 3/4a + 9/4

Now, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4.  This is not a required step, but it will get rid of the fractions on the right side of the equation, so we only have to work in full numbers.

12a - 8 = 3a + 9

The next step is to subtract 3a from both sides and add 8 to both sides to separate the variable and constant terms.

12a - 3a - 8 + 8 = 3a - 3a + 9 + 8

9a = 17

Next, we can divide both sides by 9 to get our variable a alone on the left side of the equation.

a = 17/9

Therefore, the correct answer is a = 17/9.

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities? {x+y<12 y≥x−4
RSB [31]

Answer: The graph in the bottom right-hand corner

(see figure 4 in the attached images below)

===========================================

Explanation:

Let's start off by graphing x+y < 1. The boundary equation is x+y = 1 since we simply change the inequality sign to an equal sign. Solve for y to get x+y = 1 turning into y = -x+1. This line goes through (0,1) and (1,0). The boundary line is a dashed line due to the fact that there is no "or equal to" in the original inequality sign. So x+y < 1 turns into y < -x+1 and we shade below the dashed line. The "less than" means "shade below" when y is fully isolated like this. See figure 1 in the attached images below.

Let's graph 2y >= x-4. Start off by dividing everything by 2 to get y >= (1/2)x-2. The boundary line is y = (1/2)x-2 which goes through the two points (0,-2) and (4,0). The boundary line is solid. We shade above the boundary line. Check out figure 2 in the attached images below.

After we graph each individual inequality, we then combine the two regions on one graph. See figure 3 below. The red and blue shaded areas in figure 3 overlap to get the purple shaded area you see in figure 4, which is the final answer. Any point in this purple region will satisfy both inequalities at the same time. The solution point cannot be on the dashed line but it can be on the solid line as long as the solid line is bordering the shaded purple region. Figure 4 matches up perfectly with the bottom right corner in your answer choices.

You have to find a common denominator 1st then add. So 16 is the common denominator the problem should be 2 7/16+1 14/16+8-16= 3 29/16 then you need to divide 29/16 you will have 4 13/16

Matrix multiplication was used to encode a message using the given encoding matrix: [i 47 A=1 |-1 -3] The original message was c
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3&-4\\1&1\end{array}\right] message SHOW_ME_THE_MONEY_  

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix

A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&4\\-1&-3\end{array}\right]\rightarrow |A|=(1 \times -3)-(-1\times 4)=1\\\rightarrow A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3&-4\\1&1\end{array}\right] \\

We can check that in fact A*A^⁻1=I_2 the identity matrix of size 2 x 2.

Now the message was divided in 1 x 2 matrices, then we have that the sequence given is the result of multiplying m by A, so to get m again we multiply now by A^⁻1. and we get the next table

Encoded message    Decoded message    message in letters by association

11 52        19 8    S H

-8 -9         15 23  O W

-13 -39        0 13   _ M

5 20         5 0   E _

12 56        20 8    T H

5 20         5 0    E _

-2 7           13 15  M O

9 41         14 5   N E

25 100       25 0    Y _

Then the message decoded is SHOW_ME_THE_MONEY_
