Answer:
-6 because I did it on my calculator
Answer:
The number of solutions of a system is given by the number of different variables in the system, this number has to be the same as the number of independent equations. The coefficients and the augmented matrix of the system show these values in a matrix form. A system has a unique solution when the rank of both matrixes and the number o variables in the system are the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, the following system has 2 different variables, x and y.

In order to find a unique solution to the system, the number of independent equations and variables in the system must be the same In the previous example, you have 2 independent equations and 2 variables, then the solution of the system is unique.
The rank of a matrix is the dimension of the vector generated by the columns, in other words, the rank is the number of independent columns of the matrix.
According to Rouché-Capelli Theorem, a system of equations is inconsistent if the rank of the augmented matrix is greater than the rank of the coefficient matrix. The inconsistency of the system is because you can't find a combination of the variables that will solve the system.
I divided the figure into two rectangles, found their areas separately and added them up to get the final area 168 cm squared.
It depends on the given information.
McKenzie's work is correct if the two short sides are given as 5 and 13.
Cara's work is correct is almost correct if 5 is one leg, and 13 is the hypotenuse. The exact answer is 12, but she wrote it as approximately equal. That's her only problem.
By the way, Ddssaa122: when posting questions, the power of a number is written as 5^2 and not 52. 5^2=5*5, 52=4*13, so they are not the same.
