Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the age of Thomas

Let x + 6 = the age of Huilan

x + x + 6 = 70

2x + 6 = 70

2x = 64

x = 32 years

x+6 = 38 years

Please help me find the value of each variable in the parallelogram

seropon [69]

Answer:

K=10 H=65

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out K, you need to know that opposite angles are the same, so 5k is the same as 50, 50÷5= 10, so k=10

To work out H, you know that opposite angles are the same so 2h is the same as 130, 130÷2=65 so h=65

Perform the indicated row operations, then write the new matrix.

Studentka2010 [4]

The matrix is not properly formatted.

However, I'm able to rearrange the question as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\-2&3&5|3\\3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

Operations:

$2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2$

$-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3$

Please note that the above may not reflect the original question. However, you should be able to implement my steps in your question.

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first operation:

$2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2$

This means that the new second row (R2) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by 2; add this to the second row

The row 1 elements are:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]$

Multiply by 2

$2 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right]$

Add to row 2 elements are: $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&5&7|1\end{array}\right]$

The second operation:

$-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3$

This means that the new third row (R3) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by -3; add this to the third row

The row 1 elements are:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]$

Multiply by -3

$-3 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right]$

Add to row 2 elements are: $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

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

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

Hence, the new matrix is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

A container of beads contains: 8 red beads, 6 yellow beads, and 6 green beads. A bead will be drawn from the basket and replaced

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Because of probability, a green or red bead would be drawn 14/20 times because there are 20 total beads and adding together the numbers for green and red. From this, if you multiply by 3/3 you can see that 42/60 times it will be a green bead. A reasonable prediction for green beads would then be 42 times. Hope it helps :D
