10x-2=4x-8
-4x -4x
6x-2=-8
+2 +2
6x=-6
divide by six on both sides
x=-1

Okay so combine like terms
10x-4x= 6x
2-8= -6

6x=-6
x= -1

Now to check:
10(-1)-2=4(-1)-8
-10-2=-4-8
-12=-12

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

System of equations given as

x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;

2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;

x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5

Matrix form

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$ $\begin{Vmatrix}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{Vmatrix}$

Generally the echelon reduction is mathematically applied as

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & -8 & -1&0&2\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Multiply the 2nd row by -1/8

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -1 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & -41/8 & 1& 21/4\end{Vmatrix}$

Multiply the 3rd row by -8/41

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -1/8 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

Add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 0&49/41&165/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Huan receives 3.33 pounds (£) every week

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate this by dividing the amount for 5 weeks and dividing by 5 to find the amount of pocket money for each week. 16.65/5 = 3.33, which means that he receives 3.33 pounds (£) every week for pocket money.
