Answer:

Never

Never

Never

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations given are

2x1−6x2−4x3 = 6 ....... (1)

−x1+ax2+4x3 = −1 ........(2)

2x1−5x2−2x3 = 9 ..........(3)

the values of a for which the system of linear equations has no solutions

Let first add equation 1 and 2. Also equation 2 and 3. This will result to

X1 + (a X2 - 6X2) - 0 = 5

And

X1 + (aX2-5X2) + 2X3 = 8

Since X2 and X3 can't be cancelled out, we conclude that the value of a is never.

a unique solution,

Let first add equation 1 and 2. Also equation 2 and 3. This will result to

X1 + (a X2 - 6X2) - 0 = 5

And

X1 + (aX2-5X2) + 2X3 = 8

The value of a = never

infinitely many solutions. 

Divide equation 1 by 2 we will get

X1 - 3X2 - 2X3 =3

Add the above equation with equation 3. This will result to

3X1 - 8X2 - 4X3 = 12

Everything ought to be the same. Since they're not.

Value of a = never.

Bottle A contains 4 ounces of water, which is 25% of the amount of water in Bottle B. How much water is there in Bottle B?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

B=16 ounces

C=24 ounces

B=1/0.75=133%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

A≡0.25B (25%), if A=4 ounces  then B=4/0.25 = 16 ounces

C=1.5B (150%), if B=16 ounces then C=1.5*(16 ounces) = 24 ounces

D≡xB (?%), if D=12 ounces then x=12/16 = 0.75 ≡ 75%, but xB≡D ⇒ B≡D/x →

B≡12(1/0.75)= B=12*(1.333)→ B≅133%D

Fill in the missing numbers to create equivalent ratios.
jasenka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find missing numbers in equivalent ratios is to multiply the means (the first denominator and the second numerator) and multiply the extremes (the first numerator and the second denominator). It sounds really complicated, but it is quite simple =)

2/5 = x/10

The means in this equivalent ration are 5 and x. The extremes are 2 and 10.

5x = 20

Now solve =)

x = 4

That was pretty simple. Let's move on to the next one. Do exactly the same thing here:

4/10 = 6/x

60 = 4x

15 = x

That was pretty simple, too! Keep going!

6/15 = x/25

15x = 150

x = 10

All of these should be equal, so check them by dividing:

2/5 = 0.4

4/10 = 0.4

6/15 = 0.4

10/25 = 0.4

They all check out, so these are your answers: 2/5, 4/10, 6/15, 10/25


I really hope this helps you =)
