If a+b=−2a + b = -2a+b=−2a+b= -2 and x+y =−2 what is 4x+5a+4y+5b?

1 answer:

7 0

$a + b = -2\ and\ x + y = -2\\\\4x + 5a + 4y + 5b = (4x + 4y) + (5a + 5b) = 4(\underbrace{x + y}_{=-2}) + 5(\underbrace{a + b}_{=-2})\\\\=4(-2)+5(-2)=-8+(-10)=-18$

What is the median of 12,8,5,6,1,10,13,11

neonofarm [45]

The median is the middle value, so put them all in numerical order, (1,2,4,6,7, ect.), and find the middle. If there is two numbers in the middle find the number exactly between them.
Hope this helps!

Which of the following expressions are equivalent to \left(9\dfrac{7}{8} + 2\dfrac{4}{5}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}(9 87 +2 54 )− 21

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$12\dfrac{7}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\left(9\dfrac{7}{8} + 2\dfrac{4}{5}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}$

We need to find the simplified form of the given expression.

It can be rewritten as

$\left(9+\dfrac{7}{8} + 2+\dfrac{4}{5}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Combine integers and fractions separately.

$(9+2)+(\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{4}{5}-\dfrac{1}{2})$

Taking LCM we get

$11+\dfrac{35+32-20}{40}$

$11+\dfrac{47}{40}$

In can be written as

$11+\dfrac{40+7}{40}$

$11+1+\dfrac{7}{40}$

$12+\dfrac{7}{40}$

$12\dfrac{7}{40}$

Therefore, the expression $12\dfrac{7}{40}$ is equivalent to the given expression.

What is a matrix for a system of equations that does not have a unique solution?

vlada-n [284]

A system of linear equations can have no solution, a unique solution or infinitely many solutions. A system has no solution if the equations are inconsistent, they are contradictory. for example 2x+3y=10, 2x+3y=12 has no solution. is the rref form of the matrix for this system.

This is in my opinion. Im not sure if it is correct or not but Good luck!
