Since RS and ST are congruent sides, angles SRT and STR will be equal. Also, angles STU (5x) and STR added together equals 180. Therefore angles STU and SRT will also equal 180. All that's left to do is set up the equation and solve. 5x - 30 + 5x = 180.

Perform the indicated row operations, then write the new matrix.

Studentka2010 [4]

The matrix is not properly formatted.

However, I'm able to rearrange the question as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\-2&3&5|3\\3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

Operations:

$2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2$

$-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3$

Please note that the above may not reflect the original question. However, you should be able to implement my steps in your question.

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first operation:

$2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2$

This means that the new second row (R2) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by 2; add this to the second row

The row 1 elements are:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]$

Multiply by 2

$2 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right]$

Add to row 2 elements are: $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&5&7|1\end{array}\right]$

The second operation:

$-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3$

This means that the new third row (R3) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by -3; add this to the third row

The row 1 elements are:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]$

Multiply by -3

$-3 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right]$

Add to row 2 elements are: $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

Hence, the new matrix is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]$

Consider the line y= -7/4x+8

VARVARA [1.3K]

Perpendicular line has slope that multiplies to -1
paralel line has same slope

y=mx+b
slope=-7/4
perpendicular
4/7
(-7,-2)
-2=4/7(-7)+b
-2=-4+b
add 4 both sides
2=b
y=4/7x+2

paralel
y=-7/4x+b
-2=-7/4(-7)+b
-2=49/4+b
minus 49/4 from both sides (-2=-8/4)
-57/4=b
y=-7/4x-14.25

perpendicular
y=4/7x+2
paralel
y=-7/4x-14.25

There are (42)3 ⋅ 40 horses on a stud farm. What is the total number of horses on the farm?

Doss [256]

Answer:

5040

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number is in the Parenthesis that means you multiply. First you do 42*3 The answer would be 126. Since there is another Multiplication sign you just plug in your quotient (answer) into the problem. Now the equation is 126*40. 126*40=5040

What is x?? I'm so confused!

LiRa [457]

Answer:

x = 468%

Step-by-step explanation:

I see a proportion here.

we want to solve for the variable x in the proportion:

18% / (2 weeks) = ( x %) / (52 weeks)

here we should multiply 52 to boths sides

(52 weeks) * 18% / (2 weeks) = x %

26 * 18% = x %

x = 468 %
