Answer:
(a)
(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) For using Cramer's rule you need to find matrix
and the matrix
for each variable. The matrix
is formed with the coefficients of the variables in the system. The first step is to accommodate the equations, one under the other, to get
more easily.

![\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctherefore%20A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D2%265%5C%5C1%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
To get
, replace in the matrix A the 1st column with the results of the equations:
![B_1=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\2&4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_1%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%265%5C%5C2%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
To get
, replace in the matrix A the 2nd column with the results of the equations:
![B_2=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\1&2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_2%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D2%261%5C%5C1%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Apply the rule to solve
:

In the case of B2, the determinant is going to be zero. Instead of using the rule, substitute the values of the variable
in one of the equations and solve for
:

(b) In this system, follow the same steps,ust remember
is formed by replacing the 3rd column of A with the results of the equations:

![\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctherefore%20A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%261%260%5C%5C1%262%261%5C%5C0%261%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![B_1=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_1%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%260%5C%5C0%262%261%5C%5C0%261%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![B_2=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&0&1\\0&0&2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_2%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%261%260%5C%5C1%260%261%5C%5C0%260%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![B_3=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&1\\1&2&0\\0&1&0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_3%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%261%261%5C%5C1%262%260%5C%5C0%261%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)



9.08 divided by 9 is 1.008888889
Answer:
Great! Sorta making me really tired, but altogether fine!!!
How about you sir/ma'am?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 29.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
The total surface area is 196.9 million square miles and out of this, land occupies 57.5 million square miles.
The probability that a meteorite would hit land is the percentage of and out of the entire planet area:
= Land area/ Total earth surface area
= 57.5/ 196.9
= 29.2%
