Answer:

Solution : (15, - 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this problem using a matrix, so it would be wise to apply Gaussian elimination. Doing so we can start by writing out the matrix of the coefficients, and the solutions ( - 5 and - 2 ) --- ( 1 )

\begin{bmatrix}-4&-5&|&-5\\ -6&-8&|&-2\end{bmatrix}

Now let's begin by canceling the leading coefficient in each row, reaching row echelon form, as we desire --- ( 2 )

Row Echelon Form :

\begin{pmatrix}1\:&\:\cdots \:&\:b\:\\ 0\:&\ddots \:&\:\vdots \\ 0\:&\:0\:&\:1\end{pmatrix}

Step # 1 : Swap the first and second matrix rows,

\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ -4&-5&-5\end{pmatrix}

Step # 2 : Cancel leading coefficient in row 2 through R_2\:\leftarrow \:R_2-\frac{2}{3}\cdot \:R_1,

\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ 0&\frac{1}{3}&-\frac{11}{3}\end{pmatrix}

Now we can continue canceling the leading coefficient in each row, and finally reach the following matrix.

\begin{bmatrix}1&0&|&15\\ 0&1&|&-11\end{bmatrix}

As you can see our solution is x = 15, y = - 11 or (15, - 11).

A rectangular family room is 18 feet long and 14 feet wide.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

4 pieces of chair rail are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the room</u>

Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2B

Length = 18

Breadth = 14

Perimeter of room = 2(18) + 2(14)

Perimeter of room = 64 feet

<u>Step 2: Calculate the pieces of chair rail needed</u>

<em>Perimeter of room = 64 feet</em>

<em>Length of each chair rail = 16 feet</em>

<em>Total chair rails needed = Perimeter of room/length of each chair rail</em>

<em>Total chair rails needed = 64/16</em>

Total chair rails needed = 4

Therefore, Mr. Herzog needs 4 pieces of chair rails.

How do i solve this: |6y+2|=2|2y-1|
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Group like terms 6y-2y= 2-1-2

When a number goes over the equal sign= positive + changes to negative, vice versa.

So final answer is 4y= -1= -4y

Because 4 is decided by -1
