Use Cramer's Rule to find x in the system of equations below.

Mathematics

Ronch [10]3 years ago

Answer: x = 4 , y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Going by the Cramer's rule , we first determine the determinant by dealing with only  the coefficients of x and y in the 2 x 2 matrix.

2x  -  3y = 17

5x  + 4y = 8

2        -3

5         4,   going by the rule now, we now have

(2 x 4) - (5 x -3)

8 + 15

= 23.

Now to find the value of x , replace the constants with the coefficient of x and divide by he determinants.

 17        -3

 8          4

---------------  

2           -3

5            4

( 17 x 4 ) - ( 8 x -3 )

---------------------------

         23

     =  68 + 24

         ------------

              23

    =       92/23

    =           4.

 x =   4

Now  to find y, just repeat the process by replacing the coefficient of y with the constants.

2        17

5        8

-----------

2        -3

5         4

( 2 x 8 ) - ( 5 x 17 )

-----------------------

            23

       16 - 85

       ---------

          23

  =  -69/23

  =   -3

y =  -3.

check

substitute for the values in any of the equations above.

2(4)  - 3(-3)

8  + 9

= 17

What is state Income Tax
torisob [31]

Answer:

Most individual U.S. states collect a state income tax in addition to federal income tax. The two are separate entities. Some local governments also impose an income tax, often based on state income tax calculations. Forty-two states and many localities in the United States impose an income tax on individuals. Eight states impose no state income tax, and a ninth, New Hampshire, imposes an individual income tax on dividends and interest income but not other forms of income. Forty-seven states and many localities impose a tax on the income of corporations.[1]

State income tax is imposed at a fixed or graduated rate on taxable income of individuals, corporations, and certain estates and trusts. The rates vary by state. Taxable income conforms closely to federal taxable income in most states, with limited modifications.[2] The states are prohibited from taxing income from federal bonds or other obligations. Most do not tax Social Security benefits or interest income from obligations of that state. Several states require different useful lives and methods be used by businesses in computing the deduction for depreciation. Many states allow a standard deduction or some form of itemized deductions. States allow a variety of tax credits in computing tax.

Each state administers its own tax system. Many states also administer the tax return and collection process for localities within the state that impose income tax.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

1600 items should not be defective

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of items that are not defective, we multiply the number of items we have by the probability that they are not defective.

Not defective items = items * probability

                                 = 2000 * 4/5

                                    1600
