Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=12

3×+y=20

×=12-y

3 (12-y)+y=20

36-3y+y=20

36-4y=20

-4y=20-36

-4y= -16

y =16÷4

y=4

×+y=12

×+4=12

×=12-4

×=8

therefoer;y=4,x=8

Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.

The contrapositive of the logical statement

p ⇒ q

¬q ⇒ ¬p

In this case, the contrapositive claims that

"If there are no scalars α and β such that c = αa + βb, then a₁b₂ - a₂b₁ = 0."

The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

$\begin{cases}c_1 = \alpha a_1 + \beta b_1\\ c_2 = \alpha a_2 + \beta b_2\end{cases}$

or in matrix form,

$\begin{pmatrix}c_1\\c_2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}\alpha\\\beta\end{pmatrix}$

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

$\begin{vmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{vmatrix} = a_1b_2-a_2b_1 = 0$

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED

Can someone help me with these word problems?

Jobisdone [24]

1) $375
500 *.25= 125
500-125= 375

2) (5/8)* 32= 20 girls in class
(3/8)* 32= 12 BOYS in class

4) 19+42+X=87
62+X= 87 (add 19 and 42 together )
X=25 ( subtract 87 from 62)
