Answer:

8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the first number as x, the second as y

x+y=18

2x-y=6

This is an binary system of first order equations

3x=24

x=8

y=10

Simplify using the laws of exponents (4^3)^-2 × (2^3)^4 ×(8/15)^-2

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$\dfrac{225}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(4^3)^{-2} \times (2^3)^4 \times (\dfrac{8}{15})^{-2} =$

$= (2^2)^{-6} \times 2^{12} \times (\dfrac{15}{8})^{2}$

$= 2^{-12} \times 2^{12} \times \dfrac{225}{64}$

$= \dfrac{225}{64}$

PLEASE HELP MEEEE HURRRY!!! :)

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equations -

$\begin{bmatrix}-5x-12y-43z=-136\\ -4x-14y-52z=-146\\ 21x+72y+267z=756\end{bmatrix}$

It would be best to solve this equation in matrix form. Write down the coefficients of each terms, and reduce to " row echelon form " -

$\begin{bmatrix}-5&-12&-43&-136\\ -4&-14&-52&-146\\ 21&72&267&756\end{bmatrix}$ First, I swapped the first and third rows.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ -4&-14&-52&-146\\ -5&-12&-43&-136\end{bmatrix}$ Leading coefficient of row 2 canceled.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&-\frac{2}{7}&-\frac{8}{7}&-2\\ -5&-12&-43&-136\end{bmatrix}$ The start value of row 3 was canceled.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&-\frac{2}{7}&-\frac{8}{7}&-2\\ 0&\frac{36}{7}&\frac{144}{7}&44\end{bmatrix}$ Matrix rows 2 and 3 were swapped.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&\frac{36}{7}&\frac{144}{7}&44\\ 0&-\frac{2}{7}&-\frac{8}{7}&-2\end{bmatrix}$ Leading coefficient in row 3 was canceled.

$\begin{bmatrix}21&72&267&756\\ 0&\frac{36}{7}&\frac{144}{7}&44\\ 0&0&0&\frac{4}{9}\end{bmatrix}$

And at this point, I came to the conclusion that this system of equations had no solutions, considering it reduced to this -

$\begin{bmatrix}1&0&-1&0\\ 0&1&4&0\\ 0&0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$

The positioning of the zeros indicated that there was no solution!
