To solve, isolate the x. Cross multiply
3/13(13)(5) = x/5(5)(13)
3(5) = (13)x
Simplify
13x = 15
Isolate the x. Divide by 13.
13x/13 = 15/13
x = 15/13
x = 1.2
1.2 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
The price of the jacket will be $38.35
Step-by-step explanation:
If i did the math correctly one number is 50
19 has two factors: 1, 19
21 has four factors: 1, 3, 7, 21
23 has two factors: 1, 23
And we need a number that has more than four factors and is greater than 25.
Factors of 50- 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
50has six factors and is greater than 25.
Our matrix C is the encoder. Let X be our secret message and let B be our encoded message. Therefore the relationship between the 3 can be represented as:
CX = B
So we want to solve for X (our secret message). So using matrix algebra:
X = C^-1*B
where C^-1 is the inverse of C.
C^-1 = | 3 -2 |
|4 -3 |
So we take C^-1 and multiply it by matrix B to get X. Matrix B is already given to us. So just multiply those two. I used a calculator to get:
X = | 20 8 5 3 15 12 15 |
| 18 9 19 2 12 21 5 |
And since A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc....
We decode our message and it says:
X = | T H E C O L O |
| R I S B L U E |
So the answer is: The color is blue (D)
