Answer:
130
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the determinant of the matrix ...
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&3&2\\-3&1&5\\-1&-4&3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%263%262%5C%5C-3%261%265%5C%5C-1%26-4%263%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
One way to figure it is as the difference between the sum of products of the down-diagonals and the sum of products of the up-diagonals:
D = (4)(1)(3) +(3)(5)(-1) +(2)(-3)(-4) -(-1)(1)(2) -(-4)(5)(4) -(3)(-3)(3)
= 12 -15 +24 +2 +80 +27
D = 130
The determinant of the coefficient matrix is 130.

Many scientific and graphing calculators and web sites can perform this calculation for you.
First we have to find number of person.
3adults+2childre+Shawna=6 person
Now we have to divide 2 pie by 6 person to see how much pie each person get.
2:6=

- its the result
X + 19 + 7x + 9 = 180
8x + 28 = 180
8x = 180 - 28
8x = 152
X = 152 : 8
X = 19
k<2(3.5) or simplified k<7
468/18 = 26
Therefore they need at least 26 boxes to hold all the golf balls.
Hope this helps :)
