How do you know when ratios are equivalent and when they are not equivalent

1 answer:

7 0

Ratios are equivalent when that can be reduced or multiplied to be the same number.
Ex) 1:4 is the same as 2:8 or 4:16
10:20 is the same as 8:16 or 1:2

They are not equivalent if you can’t do this

Solve the system by using a matrix equation.<br> --4x - 5y = -5<br> -6x - 8y = -2

Answer:

Solution : (15, - 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this problem using a matrix, so it would be wise to apply Gaussian elimination. Doing so we can start by writing out the matrix of the coefficients, and the solutions ( - 5 and - 2 ) --- ( 1 )

$\begin{bmatrix}-4&-5&|&-5\\ -6&-8&|&-2\end{bmatrix}$

Now let's begin by canceling the leading coefficient in each row, reaching row echelon form, as we desire --- ( 2 )

Row Echelon Form :

$\begin{pmatrix}1\:&\:\cdots \:&\:b\:\\ 0\:&\ddots \:&\:\vdots \\ 0\:&\:0\:&\:1\end{pmatrix}$

Step # 1 : Swap the first and second matrix rows,

$\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ -4&-5&-5\end{pmatrix}$

Step # 2 : Cancel leading coefficient in row 2 through $R_2\:\leftarrow \:R_2-\frac{2}{3}\cdot \:R_1$ ,

$\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ 0&\frac{1}{3}&-\frac{11}{3}\end{pmatrix}$

Now we can continue canceling the leading coefficient in each row, and finally reach the following matrix.

$\begin{bmatrix}1&0&|&15\\ 0&1&|&-11\end{bmatrix}$

As you can see our solution is x = 15, y = - 11 or (15, - 11).
