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

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

If 94 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $2.5 while tickets for children cost $1.75 and total receipts for the
Tasya [4]

Answer:

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total attendees=94 people

Adults tickets=$2.5

Children tickets=$1.75

Total receipts=$203.5

Let adults=a

Children=c

a+c=94 (1)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5 (2)

From (1)

a+c=94

a=94-c

Substitute a=94-c into (2)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5

2.5(94-c) + 1.75c=203.5

235-2.5c+1.75c=203.5

-0.75c=203.5-235

-0.75c=-31.5

Divide both sides by -0.75

-0.75c/-0.75=-31.5/-0.75

c=42

Substitute c=42 into (1)

a+c=94

a+42=94

a=94-42

=52

a=52

Therefore,

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

One increased by 7 times a number is the same as 5 times the number plus 25
sammy [17]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

7x + 1 = 5x + 25                 Subtract 5x from both sides.

7x - 5x + 1 = 5x - 5x + 25   Combine

2x + 1 = 25                          Subtract 1 from both sides.

2x + 1 - 1 = 25-1                   Combine

2x = 24                               Divide by 2

2x/2 = 24/2

x = 12
