How to solve -64 = -8(w+ 20)

1 answer:

W=-12

First you distribute the -8 using the distributive property.

So, -64= -8w-160

Next, you add 160 to both sides to put the same type of number (wand non-x) separate from each other.

The equation becomes 96=-8w

Then finally you divide -8 from both sides to get w by itself.

So 96/-8= -12.

w=-12.

Hope this helps!

Let M be the set of all nxn matrices. Define a relation on won M by A B there exists an invertible matrix P such that A = P BP S

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Recall that a relation is an equivalence relation if and only if is symmetric, reflexive and transitive. In order to simplify the notation we will use A↔B when A is in relation with B.

Reflexive: We need to prove that A↔A. Let us write J for the identity matrix and recall that J is invertible. Notice that $A=J^{-1}AJ$ . Thus, A↔A.

Symmetric: We need to prove that A↔B implies B↔A. As A↔B there exists an invertible matrix P such that $A=P^{-1}BP$ . In this equality we can perform a right multiplication by $P^{-1}$ and obtain $AP^{-1} =P^{-1}B$ . Then, in the obtained equality we perform a left multiplication by P and get $PAP^{-1} =B$ . If we write $Q=P^{-1}$ and $Q^{-1} = P$ we have $B = Q^{-1}AQ$ . Thus, B↔A.

Transitive: We need to prove that A↔B and B↔C implies A↔C. From the fact A↔B we have $A=P^{-1}BP$ and from B↔C we have $B=Q^{-1}CQ$ . Now, if we substitute the last equality into the first one we get
