This involves quite a lot of arithmetic to do manually.
The first thing you do is to make the first number in row 2 = to 0.
This is done by R2 = -3/2 R1 + R2
so the matrix becomes
( 2 1 1) ( -3 )
( 0 -13/2 3/2) (1/2 )
(5 -1 2) (-2)
Next step is to make the 5 in row 5 = 0
then the -1 must become zero
You aim for the form
( 1 0 0) (x)
(0 1 0) (y)
(0 0 1) ( z)
x , y and z will be the required solutions.
If 3 ice cream cones cost 8.25 how much do 2 ice cream cones cost?
1 cone cost
8.25 : 3 = 2.75
2 cones cost
2.75 * 2 = 5.5
or
(8.25 : 3) * 2 = 5.5
The slope would have to be -3
The prime factor of the 576 is
and the prime factor of the 64 is
. And the expression
is equal to 3.
<h3>What is simplification?</h3>
Simplification is to make something easier to do or understand and to make something less complicated.
