Answer: 2 eqautions and 2 variables

Step-by-step explanation: To solve linear systems, the equations can be represented by an augmented matrix.

To create one, each row represents the coeficients and constants (the numbers after the equal sign) from one equation and each column exhibit all the coeficients for a single variable. This means that the first column of an augmented matrix is for the coeficients of the x-terms, the second for the coeficients of the y-terms, the third column for the z-terms and so on.

For this question:

A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&k&2\\-5&6&1\end{array}\right] or it can be written as

x + ky = 2

-5x + 6y = 1

Thus, the system has 2 equations and 2 variables.

The length of a rectangle solid is 3.0 m the width is 0.6 meter, and the height is 0.4 meter. Find, to the nearest tenth, the nu
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

0.72\,\,m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangle solid = 3 m

Width of a rectangle solid = 0.6 m

Height of a rectangle solid = 0.4 m

To find: Volume of the solid

Solution:

Volume of the solid = length × breadth × height

=3\times 0.6\times 0.4=0.72\,\,m^3

So, the number of cubic meters in the volume of the solid is 0.72\,\,m^3

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: Insufficient Information

The probability of selecting a red ball, a blue ball or a white ball is unknown.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting a red ball, a blue ball or a white ball is unknown.

There could be 13 red balls, 1 blue ball and 11 white balls in the bag. There could be 3 red balls, 2 blue balls and 20 white balls in the bag. It is impossible to say with the  information given have even numbers on them. The same thing applies to the number of balls with numbers or even numbers on them. The question does not specify how many white balls have each number on them.
