Hello There!

X=9

If we substitute X in this equation, it would say 3*9 which equals 27 subtract 6 and you get 21 which is true.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x-6=21\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\3x-6+6=21+6\\\\3x=27\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\dfrac{3x}{3}=\dfrac{27}{3}\\\\x=9$

While in France, Judy wants to sign up for a bike tour to see the countryside. She likes a tour that is 40 kilometers long, but

Sonja [21]

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate Judy's estimation, we would simply have to multiply the actual distance in kilometers of the tour by the number of miles that Judy believes are in a single mile. This would give us Judy's estimation for how long the tour would be in miles.

40 km. * 0.6 miles = 24 miles

Finally, we can see that Judy's estimation would be that the tour is 24 miles long. Using Judy's believed conversion rate.

M1 Matrix is:

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

(a)First Row, First Column =1

(b)First Row, second Column =0

(c)Second Row, First Column =0

(d)Second Row, second Column =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given matrix $M=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-5&3\\-8&5\end{array}\right)$

The Inverse of a 2X2 matrix

$A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right)$

can be found using the following:

$A^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{ad-bc} \left(\begin{array}{ccc}d&-b\\-c&a\end{array}\right)$

Therefore:

$M^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{(5*-5)-(3*-8)} \left(\begin{array}{ccc}5&-3\\8&-5\end{array}\right)\\=-1\left(\begin{array}{ccc}5&-3\\8&-5\end{array}\right)\\=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-5&3\\-8&5\end{array}\right)$

Next, we find the product $M^{-1}M$

$M^{-1}M=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-5&3\\-8&5\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-5&3\\-8&5\end{array}\right)\\=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-5*-5+3*-8&-5*3+3*5\\-8*-5+5*-8&-8*3+5*5\end{array}\right)\\=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right)$

Therefore:

(a)First Row, First Column =1

(b)First Row, second Column =0

(c)Second Row, First Column =0

(d)Second Row, second Column =1

NOTE: The multiplication of a matrix and its inverse always gives the identity matrix as seen above,

1. Write the equation of the line parallel to y = 7x – 5 and going through the point (4,31).

densk [106]

Answer:

y=7x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the equation y=7x-5 and we want to find the equation of the line that is parallel to it, and contains the point (4,31)

First, let's find the slope of y=7x-5, since parallel lines have the same slopes

The line y=7x-5 is written slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Since 7 is in the place of where m is, the slope of the line is 7

It's also the slope of the line parallel to it.

We can substitute 7 as m into the formula y=mx+b for our new line:

y=7x+b

Now we need to find b

Since the equation will pass through the point (4, 31), we can use it to solve for b; substitute 31 as y and 4 as x

31=7(4)+b

Multiply

31=28+b

Subtract 28 from both sides

3=b

Substitute 3 as b

y=7x+3

Hope this helps!

A circle with radius of \greenD{1\,\text{cm}}1cmstart color #1fab54, 1, start text, c, m, end text, end color #1fab54 sits insid

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

5.86cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle - Area of the circle

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

Area of rectangle = 3cm * 3cm

Area of rectangle = 9cm²

Area of the circle = πr²

Given radius r = 1cm

Area of the circle = 3.14(1)²

Area of the circle = 3.14cm²

Area of the shaded region = 9 - 3.14

Area of the shaded region = 5.86cm²
