For this case we have the following system of equations:
 5x + 3y = 17
 -8x - 3y = 9
 We can rewrite the system like:
 Ax = b
 Where,
 A = [5   3; -8   -3]
 b = [17; 9]
 x = [x; y]
 The determinant of matrix A is given by:
 lAl = ((5) * (- 3)) - ((3) * (- 8))
 lAl = (-15) - (-24)
 lAl = -15 + 24
 lAl = 9
 Answer:
 The determinant for solving this linear system is:
 lAl = 9
        
                    
             
        
        
        
18 . it's increasing by 5 every time so the next one after 23 is 28
        
             
        
        
        
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula of coordinates (x, y) that reflected across the x-axis : (x, y) => (x, -y) 
so, 
A(3, -2) => A'(3, 2)
B(5, 5) => B'(5, -5)
C(-4, 2) => C'(-4, -2)
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
So hmm check the picture below
what's the width? well, w = l + 3
 
        
        
        
Answer:
C 200
Step-by-step explanation:
It does not appear to be LINEAR so 
Start with :
pulse rate = y = 73e^kx  
sub in x = .7      when y = 155
155 = 73 e^(.7 * k) 
ln ( 155/73)  =  .7k 
.75296567  = .7k 
      k = 1.07567
for x = 0.9 :
pulse rate  =  y = 73 e^(1.07567 * .9)  = ~ 192      so I expect answer is 200
