Answer:

A) No

Step-by-step explanation:

A system is consitent if it has an solution, or many solutions.

If it ends at a division by 0, or 0 = constant(different than 0), the system is inconsistent.

Let's solve this system

x1 + x2 + x3 = 7

x1 - x2 + 2x3 = 7

2x1 + 3x3 = 15

From the first equation

x1 + x2 + x3 = 7

x3 = 7 - x1 - x2

Replacing in the other equations:

In the second

x1 - x2 + 2x3 = 7

x1 - x2 + 2(7 - x1 - x2) = 7

x1 - x2 + 14 - 2x1 - 2x2 = 7

-x1 - 3x2 = -7

In the third

2x1 + 3x3 = 15

2x1 + 3(7 - x1 - x2) = 15

2x1 + 21 - 3x1 - 3x2 = 15

-x1 - 3x2 = - 6

So we have the following system now:

-x1 - 3x2 = -7

-x1 - 3x2 = - 6

Multiplying the second equation by -1, and adding both equations

-x1 - 3x2 = -7

x1 + 3x2 = 6

0 = -1

This is something that is false, so the system is inconsistent.

The correct answer is:

A) No

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 feet and an area of 50 square feet. What are the dimensions of the rectangle.
KiRa [710]

I believe the shorter sides are 5 feet and the longer ones are 10. This is because when you add up the two shorter sides as 10, and the other two as 20, then add them up to 30. That's the perimeter. For the area, you would do 10•5 to get 50 for the area

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To solve for 'x', isolate it</u>. This means to keep 'x' on one side of the equal sign, while moving the other numbers to the other side. The numbers on the other side will tell you what 'x' equals to.

<u>When 'moving' a number to the other side, you cancel it out where it originally is by doing reverse operations</u>. (Reverse operation pairs are addition/subtraction and division/multiplication). To keep an equation balanced, <u>what you do to one side you have to do to the other</u>.

\frac{3}{8}x-17=10        Keep 'x' on the left and move everything over.

\frac{3}{8}x-17+17=10+17        Add 17 to both sides. "-17" cancels out on the left.

\frac{3}{8}x=27        Simplified right side

\frac{3}{8}x/\frac{3}{8}=27/\frac{3}{8}        Because 3/8 originally multiplies with 'x', do the reverse: divide both sides by 3/8.

x=27/\frac{3}{8}        To divide a fraction, change to multiplication and flip the fraction's top and bottom numbers.

x=27*\frac{8}{3}        Combine the factors into one fraction.

x=\frac{27*8}{3}        Multiply 27 by 8 in the numerator.

x=\frac{216}{3}        Simplify the fraction by dividing top by bottom.

x=72        Final answer, solved for 'x'

So they tell you to let x represent the cost of Deandra's sofa. So since Selena's sofa costs 30 dollars LESS than HALF the cost of Deandra's, we know we have to divide by 2 and subtract 30. 
The equation would be x/2-30. (B)

Help please!!

Tan²( θ ) - (1 + √3) tan (θ) + √3 = 0

tan²( θ ) - (tan (θ) + √3 tan (θ)) + √3 = 0

tan²( θ ) - tan (θ) - √3 tan (θ) + √3 = 0

tan( θ ) ( tan (θ) - 1) - √3 ( tan (θ) - 1 ) = 0

( tan( θ ) - 1 ) ( tan( θ ) - √3 ) = 0


tan( θ ) - 1 = 0

θ = π/₄

tan( θ ) - √3 = 0


θ = π/₃


so θ = π/₄ and θ = π/₃
