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

Lindsay prepared 9 containers of fruit punch for a party. After the party, there were still 4 4/9 containers of fruit punch left
umka2103 [35]

Turn 9 into \frac{81}{9}. Then, convert 4 \frac{4}{9} into a improper faction ( \frac{40}{9} ). Then, subtract

\frac{81}{9} - \frac{40}{9} = \frac{41}{9}. Lastly, convert  \frac{41}{9} to a mixed fraction ( 4\frac{4}{9} ).

Your answer is 4\frac{4}{9}.

John buys 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of bananas he pays a total of $24.95 the bananas cost $6.50 less per pound than the
Murrr4er [49]

John will pay $8.68 for the combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries.

Let: b=cost of banana per pound and c=cost of cherries per pound

Equation 1: For 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of bananas, John pays a total of $24.95.

3c + 2b =$24.95

Equation 2: The cost of bananas is $6.50 less than a pound of cherries.

b= c - $6.50

We can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve for the cost of cherries per pound.

3c + (2)(c-$6.50)= $24.95

3c + 2c -$13.00 = $24.95

5c = $24.95 + $13.00

c = $7.59

Substituting the value of c to the second equation to solve for b.

b= $7.59 - $6.50 = $1.09

The combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries is $1.09 + $7.59 or $8.68.
