-18a+17b is the answer because you multiply by -1 to each
Answer: The set does not have a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding Equations 1 & 3 we get 5x = 7. This gives x = 7/5
Putting this value of x in eq. 2 we get
-2y + 2z = -1-(7/5) or
2y - 2z = 12/5 or 5y - 5z = 6
Multiplying eq. 1 by 2 we get
4x + 2y - 2z = 6
adding this with eq. 2 we get 5x = 5 or x = 1
As the common solution for x from equations 1&3 does not satisfy eq. 1&2 it comes out that the three equations do not have a common solution.
Same can be verified by using different sets of two equations also.

Explanation:
You can check your answer by making sure that each of the primes you found is actually a prime. (Compare to a list of known primes, for example.) After you have determined your factors are primes, multiply them together to see if the result is 73. If so, you have found the correct prime factorization.

<em>Additional comment</em>
73 is prime, so its prime factor is 73.
73 = 73
-3w= -7w-7 =
-3w+7w = -7w+7w - 7 =
4w= -7
4w/4 = -7/4 =
w = -7/4
Answer:
-21
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume this is a 2 by 2 matrix.

determinant = -5 * 4 - 1 * 1 = -20 - 1 = -21
