Answer:

  a. x +8z = -1

  b. y +5z = 2

  c. 0 = 0

  d. (x, y, z) = (-1-8z, 2-5z, z)

Step-by-step explanation:

As with the original matrix, the first three columns are the coefficients of the respective variables, and the last column is the constant on the right of the equal sign.

a. The first row represents the equation ...

  x + 8z = -1

__

b. The second row represents the equation ...

  y + 5z = 2

__

c. The third row represents the equation ...

  0 = 0

This equation expresses a truth, so indicates the original system of equations was consistent, but dependent. (a third row of 0 0 0 1 would indicate inconsistent, no solution)

__

d. The system is consistent but dependent. The solution can be written as ...

  (x, y, z) = (-1-8z, 2-5z, z) . . . . where z is a free variable

The perimeter of a triangle is 42 inches one side measures 18 inches the shortest side measures x inches the longest side measur
Oksana_A [137]
By writing an equation you can easily solve this:

18+ X + 4X - 1 = 42
•we need the answer to 4X-1

1. put the parts that include the X parameter in one side and the integer numbers in one side :
X + 4X = 25
5X= 25
X= 5

2. 4X-1 —> 4x5-1 = 19

Solve the system of equations using row operations. Write your answer in the form (x, y).
Sonja [21]

Answer:

(5, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = - 2 → (1)

3x - y = 19 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

9x - 3y = 57 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

(2x + 9x) + (3y - 3y) = (- 2 + 57), that is

11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2(5) + 3y = - 2

10 + 3y = - 2 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

3y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = - 4

Solution is (5, - 4 )
