Answer:

x\ =\ \dfrac{21}{5}

y\ =\ \dfrac{3}{5}

z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are

x - 2y - z = 2

x + 3y - 2z = 4

-x + 2y + 3z = 2

from the given equations the augmented matrix can be written as

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

R_2=>R_2-R_1\ and\ R_3=>R_3+R_1

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&-1:2\\0&5&-1:2\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

R_2=>\dfrac{R_2}{5}

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&-1:2\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

R_1=>R_1+2.R_2

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-1-\dfrac{2}{5}:2+\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&\dfrac{-7}{5}:\dfrac{14}{5}\\\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

R_3=>\dfrac{R_3}{2}

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&\dfrac{-7}{5}:\dfrac{14}{5}\\\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\0&0&1:2\end{array}\right]

R_1=>R_1+\dfrac{7}{5}R_3\ and\ R_2+\dfrac{1}{5}R_3

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0:\dfrac{14}{5}+\dfrac{7}{5}\\\\0&1&0:\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\0&0&1:2\end{array}\right]

So, from the above augmented matrix, we can write

x\ =\ \dfrac{21}{5}

y\ =\ \dfrac{3}{5}

z = 2

Bridget and Caroline win some money and share it in the ratio 7:3. Bridget gets £40 more than Caroline. How much did they get al
solong [7]

Answer:

£100

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio is 7:3, the difference between them is 7-3 . = 4.

So,

4x = £40

Now, calculate x

x = £10

Now,

we are able to calculate:

7x (Bridget's share) = £70

3x (Caroline's share) = £30

Sum = £100

Hope this helps.

Good Luck

HELP ASAP (1O BRAILY/POINTS FOR ANSWER)
shutvik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 3 ---------------- eqn 1

y = -6x + 3 ------------- eqn 2

Substitute y for -6x + 3 in equation 1

x + -6x + 3 = 3

x - 6x + 3 = 3

-5x + 3 = 3

Collect like terms

-5x = 3 - 3

-5x = 0

Divide both sides by -5

x = 0

Hope this helped!
