Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is no because no pocket can be empty and there isn't enough money to satisfy the condition. At least, one dollar must be stored in each pocket but the number (integer) of dollars in each pocket is different.

Let's store the minimum amount of dollars in the pockets while satisfying the condition. Place 1 dollar in the first pocket. The second pocket must have 2 dollars (it can't be 1 dollar, it must be a different number of dollars). The third pocket must have third dollars.

Repeating this process, the ninth pocket must have 9 dollars. At this moment, we have arranged 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45 dollars in our pockets. But we only had 44 dollars! Plus, the tenth pocket is still empty.

If you store more dollars on the first, second, nth pockets, you will just run out of money more quickly than in our process above. so it's impossible to arrange the money in such way.

The solution set of a linear system whose augmented matrix is [a b c d] is the same as the solution set of Ax = d, where A = [a
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

First statement

[a b c | d][x]

[a b c]x=d

ax+bx+cx=d

Second statement

Ax=d

Given that A = [a b c]

[a b c]x=d

ax+bx+cx=d

ax+bx+cx=d

Then, they are going to have the same solutions

Rosemary walks each week for exercise. Let d represent the distance walked and h represent the number of hours spent walking.

Ok last week she walked 18/6 which equals 3 and 3 is less than 2.5. 2.5h is really just that times how many hours.D is the amount of miles.So,the awnser is going to  be b or d.But we dont know what d is in d=2,5h so we have to asume that b is the awnser
