Answer:
(4,3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this via matrices, so the equations given can be written in matrix form as:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&2&1&20\\1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D3%262%261%2620%5C%5C1%26-4%26-1%26-10%5C%5C2%261%262%2615%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now I will shift rows to make my pivot point (top left) a 1 and so:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\\3&2&1&20\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26-4%26-1%26-10%5C%5C2%261%262%2615%5C%5C3%262%261%2620%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Next I will come up with algorithms that can cancel out numbers where R1 means row 1, R2 means row 2 and R3 means row three therefore,
-2R1+R2=R2 , -3R1+R3=R3
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\0&9&4&35\\0&14&4&50\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26-4%26-1%26-10%5C%5C0%269%264%2635%5C%5C0%2614%264%2650%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

Therefore the solution to the system of equations are (x,y,z) = (4,3,2)
Note: If answer choices are given, plug them in and see if you get what is "equal to". Meaning plug in 4 for x, 3 for y and 2 for z in the first equation and you should get 20, second equation -10 and third 15.
If the purchase is $102 and you add 6% for tax you would end up with $108.12
Hope this helps!
The first picture would be choice answer c because the number of x's represent how many birds wings are this size. The number on the tic mark represents the size of the wing span. So you would take the number of x's times the tic mark represented under it. There are 3 birds with 3 1/8 wingspan so it wold be 3 1/8 *3. Hoped this helps for the first one!
Answer:
y = 6
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
rearrange the first equation in terms of x
x = (y - 2)/2
substiute x in the second equation
y = -5[(y-2)/2] +16
Now simpilify and solve for y
y = (-5y + 10)/2 +16
y = -5/2y + 5 + 16
y + 5/2y = 5 + 16
3.5y = 21
y = 6
Now substitue y in the first equation to solve for x
x = (6 - 2)/2
x = 2
