Answer:

jasmine is 39, her sister is 22

Step-by-step explanation:

let j be jasmine's age and s be her sister's age. we can set up these two formulas:

2s - 5 = j

j + s = 61

replace j in the second formula with 2s - 5:

2s - 5 + s = 61

simplify: 3s - 5 = 61

add 5 to each side: 3s = 66

divide each side by 3: s = 22

now replace s with 22 in the first formula:

2(22) - 5 = j

multiply: 44 - 5 = j

subtract: 39 = j

Kamal wrote the augmented matrix below to represent a system of equations
ra1l [238]

Consider the operation is R_2\to -3R_2.

Given:

The augmented matrix below represents a system of equations.

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\1&3&-1\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-9\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

To find:

Matrix results from the operation R_2\to -3R_2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\1&3&-1\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-9\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

After applying R_2\to -3R_2, we get

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\-3(1)&-3(3)&-3(-1)\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-3(-9)\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\-3&-9&3\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\27\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Why are there so many moose attacks
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Moose attacks spike in September and October which is mating season, and early Spring also due to young calves being raised. Many moose attacks on humans are actually provoked from dogs. Moose hate dogs and wolves, and become extremely aggressive by their presence, especially at a dog that barks.
