The given equations are
5x + 7y = 7
3x - 2y = 9
As a matrix equation,
A = [5 7
3 -2]
X = [x
y]
C = [7
9]
That is
a =5, c=7; and b=3, d=-2
a - b + c + d = 5 - 3 + 7 + (-2) = 7
Answer: 7
<span>To get the bigger number, divide by 2 the sum of the given sum of the numbers and their difference. In this case-
(226 + 200)/2 = 426/2 = 213.
To get the smaller number, divide by 2 the difference of the given sum of the numbers and their difference. In this case -
(226 - 200)/2 = 26/2 =13.
The two numbers are 213 and 13.
The bigger number is 213</span>
8 is a whole number, so this will be the whole number part of our mixed number.
0.25 is a decimal, where 25 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 25 as a fraction over 100.

Simplify by dividing 25 to the numerator and denominator.


So our fraction is

0.55 is a decimal, where 55 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 55 as a fraction over 100.

Simplify by dividing 5 to the numerator and denominator.


So our fraction is


To convert this to a decimal, just divide 5 / 8
The value of the length of the rhombus will be found as follows:
cos θ=adjacent /hypotenuse
θ=108/2=54°
adjacent = 9/2=4.5 inch
hypotenuse=length of the rhombus
thus
cos 54=9/x
x=4.5/cos 54
x=7.6558~8 inches
the answer is 8 inches
