From the given equation
X+Y=20-->i
X-Y=14--->ii
add eq i and eq ii
2x=34
x=17
putting the value of x=17 in eq i
17+y=20
then y = 3 so the right answer is
17 and 3

Hello,

A) 4+18=22 no
B) -3+(-17)=-20 no
C) 2+16=18 no
D) 3+18=21 no

Answer:

(a) x=2, y=-1

(b) x=2, y=2

(c) $\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) x=-2, y=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Cramer's Rule

It's a predetermined sequence of steps to solve a system of equations. It's a preferred technique to be implemented in automatic digital solutions because it's easy to structure and generalize.

It uses the concept of determinants, as explained below. Suppose we have a 2x2 system of equations like:

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{ax+by=p} \atop {cx+dy=q}} \right.$

We call the determinant of the system

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}a &b \\c &d \end{vmatrix}$

We also define:

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}p &b \\q &d \end{vmatrix}$

And

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}a &p \\c &q \end{vmatrix}$

The solution for x and y is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}$

(a) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {x-2y=4}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-4=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &4 \end{vmatrix}=4-3=3$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{3}{-3}=-1$

The solution is x=2, y=-1

(b) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{4x-y=6} \atop {x-y=0}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}4 &-1 \\1 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-4+1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\0 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-6-0=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}4 &6 \\1 &0 \end{vmatrix}=0-6=-6$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

The solution is x=2, y=2

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{-x+2y=0} \atop {x+2y=5}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 \\1 &2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-2=-4$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}0 &2 \\5 &2 \end{vmatrix}=0-10=-10$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &0 \\1 &5 \end{vmatrix}=-5-0=-5$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-10}{-4}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-5}{-4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The solution is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{6x-y=-5} \atop {4x-2y=6}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-12+4=-8$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}-5 &-1 \\6 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=10+6=16$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-5 \\4 &6 \end{vmatrix}=36+20=56$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{16}{-8}=-2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{56}{-8}=-7$

The solution is x=-2, y=-7

El Pirata Barba Plata ha llegado a la isla del Coral para buscar un tesoro. En el mapa pone que, desde la orilla, debe recorrer

Artemon [7]

Answer:

4550m ; 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall

1 hectometre = 100m

1 decameter = 10m

Distance from shore to center of island = 37hm

Another 85 decameter toward stge se direction

Therefore total metres it will travel in other to get to the treasure :

37 hectometre + 85 decameter

(37 * 100)m + (85 * 10)m

3700m + 850m = 4550m

In kilometers :

1000 meters = 1 kilometers

4550 meters =

(4550 / 1000)meters

= 4.55km
