8x8x8 or 8 with the power of 3
To solve for how many miles Rachel jogged if she jogged a 1/4 mile trail 8 times, we simply need to multiply the distance she ran each time by the amount of times she ran it.
1/4 * 8 = 2
Rachel jogged 2 miles.
Hope that helped =)
Mikayla subtracted 4 from both sides in the beginning when she should've added it to both sides to cancel it out on the right. the correct answer should actually be x=1
Apply to Row 2 : Row 2 + Row 1
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
2x + 3y + 3z = 5
Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 1
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
y = 5
Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 2
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
-4z = 8
Simplify rows
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
z = -2

Apply to Row 2: Row 2 - 4 Row 3
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y = 5
z = -2
Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 3 Row 3
2x + 2y = 6
y = 5
z = -2
Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 2 Row 2
2x = -4
y = 5
z = 2
Simplify the rows
<u>x = -2</u>
<u>y = 5</u>
<u>z = -2</u>
