Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(4) and 1/2(16) which is 2x+8=20

So subtract 8 on both sides and it will be 2x=12 and then divided 2 on both sides and your answer is x=6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate this 1/2 (4x + 16) = 20 we need to open the bracket and then  cross multiply and finally evaluate for the value of x

1/2 (4x + 16) = 20

4x + 16 = 2 x 20 ............................... using cross multiplication

4x + 16 = 40

combine the like terms together

4x = 40 -16

4x = 24

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

therefore the value of x in the expression 1/2 (4x + 16) = 20 is evaluated to be equals to 6

How to determine if the columns of a matrix are linearly independent?
astra-53 [7]
Let's consider an arbitrary 2x2 matrix as an example,

\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf x&\mathbf y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}x_1&y_1\\x_2&y_2\end{bmatrix}

The columns of \mathbf A are linearly independent if and only if the column vectors \mathbf x,\mathbf y are linearly independent.

This is the case if the only way we can make a linear combination of \mathbf x,\mathbf y reduce to the zero vector is to multiply the vectors by 0; that is,

c_1\mathbf x+c_2\mathbf y=\mathbf 0

only by letting c_1=c_2=0.

A more concrete example: suppose

\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\4&8\end{bmatrix}

Here, \mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}1\\4\end{bmatrix} and \amthbf y=\begin{bmatrix}2\\8\end{bmatrix}. Notice that we can get the zero vector by taking c_1=-2 and c_2=1:

-2\begin{bmatrix}1\\4\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}2\\8\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-2+2\\-8+8\end{bmatrix}=\mathbf 0

so the columns of \mathbf A are not linearly independent, or linearly dependent.
