Answer:

son is 12

dad is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the son is x years old.

Then the father is 3x. Also 3x+x must be 48.

So 4x = 48 => x= 48/4 = 12

Let x be how old the son is. We know that the dad is 3 times older and their sum is 48. Creating an equation to represent this situation gives us:

x+3x=48

4x=48

Divide both sides by 4

x=12

The son is 12 years old, but we want to find the age of the dad. Since we know the dad is 3 times older, multiply 12 with 3

12 \times 3 = 36

The dad is 36 years old. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Sliva [168]

<u>Answer:</u>

5 hours  was Aaron at the sitter

<u>Explanation: </u>

Cost of baby sitting for the first hour: 10

Cost of baby sitting for additional hour= 12

Total cost of babysitting= 58

Since the cost of first hour is 10

Hence  the remaining cost after first hour

= 54-10

=48

Which means 1 hour  is consumed in the first hour

Now to calculate the remaining hours for every additional hour

= \frac{48}{12}

=4 hours

Hence the total hour Aaron was with the sitter

= 1 hour + 4 hours

= 5 hours

What is the inverse matrix that can be used to solve this systems of equations
Gala2k [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is OPTION C

Find the Inverse of a 3x3 Matrix.

First

Find the Determinant of A(The coefficients of e

Proceed towards finding the CO FACTOR of the 3x3 Matrix.

+. - +

A= [ 1 -1 -1 ]

[ -1 2 3 ]

[ 1 1 4 ]

The determinant of this is 1.

Find the co factor

| 2 3 | |-1 3 | |-1 2 |

| 1. 4. | |1 4 | |1. 1 |

|-1. -1 | |1 -1 | |1 -1

| 1. 4 | |1. 4| |1 1|

|-1. -1 | |1 -1 | |1. -1

|2. 3| |-1. 3| |-1 2|

After Evaluating The Determinant of each 2x 2 Matrix

You'll have

[ 5 7 -3]

[3 5 -2 ]

[-1 -2 1]

Reflect this along the diagonal( Keep 5,5 -2)

Then switching positions of other value

No need of Multiplying by the determinant because its value is 1 from calculation.

After this

Our Inverse Matrix Would be

[ 5 3 -1 ]

[7 5 -2 ]

[ -3 -2 1]

THIS IS OUR INVERSE.

SO

OPTION C
