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

Shilpa bought 30 T-shirt at a clothing store. 20% of the t-shirt were blue and 1/2 of the t-shirts were black. Howmany of the t-
k0ka [10]
The number of T-shirt bought by Shilpa from a clothing store = 30
Percentage of T-shirt that were blue = 20%
Then Number of T-shirt that were blue in color = (20/100) * 30
                                                                           = 2 * 3
                                                                           = 6
Number of T-shirts that were black in color = (1/2) * 30
                                                                     = 15
Then
The total number of T-shirts that were black and blue = (15 + 6)
                                                                                     = 21
Then
The total number of T-shirts that were neither black nor blue = 30 - 21
                                                                                                 = 9
So the number of T-shirts that were neither black nor blue was 9.

Complete the equation...
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x^2 -14x +49

( x-7)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -14x

We are completing the square

Take the coefficient of x

-14

Divide by 2

-14/2 = -7

Square it

(-7)^2 = 49

Add it

x^2 -14x +49

Take the -7

( x-7)^2

Which expression can be written as k square root 3 where k is an integer
Damm [24]

Answer:

A simple expression is \sqrt{48} = 4\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Surds are irrational numbers expressed with respect to a square root. There are some basic rules required when dealing with surd.

Integers are numbers that do not have a decimal or fractional part i.e whole numbers. So, a simple expression that can be written as k square root 3 where k is an integer is \sqrt{48}.

So that,

                            \sqrt{48} = \sqrt{16 * 3}

                                   = 4\sqrt{3}
