15% off means 85% on so I would use .85x · 6 = total monthly cost to represent this problem. The dot represents times (I did not want to confuse things by using x)
Other ways to express this:
6 x .85x
6(.85x)
.85x (6)
length is 15mm
key:
Each 5mm is 10 cm
15/5 =3
There are 3 of 5mm
10 x 3 = 30cm
Answer=30cm
I hope this helped and that it was right.

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the inverse of ![A=\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & -2 \\\\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\\\ -4 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%201%20%26%200%20%26%20-2%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%204%20%26%201%20%26%203%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-4%20%26%202%20%26%203%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
To find the inverse matrix, augment it with the identity matrix and perform row operations trying to make the identity matrix to the left. Then to the right will be inverse matrix.
So, augment the matrix with identity matrix:
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1&0&-2&1&0&0 \\\\ 4&1&3&0&1&0 \\\\ -4&2&3&0&0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cccc%7D1%260%26-2%261%260%260%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%204%261%263%260%261%260%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-4%262%263%260%260%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
- Subtract row 1 multiplied by 4 from row 2

As can be seen, we have obtained the identity matrix to the left. So, we are done.
4x10^7 The number of zeros the given number has would be the exponent
