Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then 
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8

Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40

Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5

Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8   ok.

A cone has a radius of 3 and a height given by the expression 2a. Which expression represents the volume of the cone?
DiKsa [7]
V=(1/3)hπr^2 where h=height and r=radius
given
radius=3
height=2a

r=3
h=2a

v=(1/3)hπr^2
v=(1/3)(2a)π(3)^2
v=(1/3)2aπ9
v=6aπ


so the expression would be some variaant of v=6aπ

the gasoline gauge on a van initially read 1/8 full. When 15 gallons were added to the tank the gauge read 3/4 full. How many mo
Nostrana [21]
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.

Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8  so that the denominators are the same.    (3/4 = 6/8)

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8   Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity   6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

So 15 is 5/8 of what number?  (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)

15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8  = 15 x  8/5  = 18

So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.

Check - at first  1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3)  So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons.  Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full).  The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons)  so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
