Answer:

A. x = -3

B. x = 2

C. x = 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) –12x + 9 = –15x

Collect like terms

9 = -15x + 12x

9 = -3x

x = 9 / -3

x = -3

(B) 4.5x + 11.5 = 8.5x + 3.5

4.5x - 8.5x = 3.5 - 11.5

-4x = -8

x = -8 / -4

x = 2

-9 = 13x - 23x

-9 = -10x

x = -9 / -10

x = 9/10

Using this formula l=A 1/2 what is the length of one side of a square with an area of 1,936 square kilometers? (A is the area of

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

c.)44 kilometers

Answer:

Solution given:

let

length =L

and

Area =A

Now

we have

Area [A]=1936 square kilometers

now

As we know that

Area of square :length *length

A=l*l

A=l²

Substituting value of A

1936=l²

doing square root on both side

$\sqrt{1936}=\sqrt{l²}$

we get

l= $\sqrt{2*2*2*2*11*11}$

l=2*2*11

l=44 kilometers

the length of one side of a square is 44 kilometers.

Solve the system of equations by row-reduction. At each step, show clearly the symbol of the linear combinations that allow you

adell [148]

Answer:

1) The solution of the system is

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&5\\x_2&=&8\\x_3&=&-13\end{array}\right$

2) The solution of the system is

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&2\\x_2&=&-7\\x_3&=&-1\end{array}\right$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To solve the system of equations

$\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}&3x_2&-5x_3&=&89\\6x_1&&+x_3&=&17\\x_1&-x_2&+8x_3&=&-107\end{array}\right$

using the row reduction method you must:

Step 1: Write the augmented matrix of the system

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 6 & 0 & 1 & 17 \\\\ 1 & -1 & 8 & -107 \end{array} \right]$

Step 2: Swap rows 1 and 2

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 6 & 0 & 1 & 17 \\\\ 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 1 & -1 & 8 & -107 \end{array} \right]$

Step 3: $\left(R_1=\frac{R_1}{6}\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 1 & -1 & 8 & -107 \end{array} \right]$

Step 4: $\left(R_3=R_3-R_1\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 3 & -5 & 89 \\\\ 0 & -1 & \frac{47}{6} & - \frac{659}{6} \end{array} \right]$

Step 5: $\left(R_2=\frac{R_2}{3}\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & -1 & \frac{47}{6} & - \frac{659}{6} \end{array} \right]$

Step 6: $\left(R_3=R_3+R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & 0 & \frac{37}{6} & - \frac{481}{6} \end{array} \right]$

Step 7: $\left(R_3=\left(\frac{6}{37}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{1}{6} & \frac{17}{6} \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right]$

Step 8: $\left(R_1=R_1-\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 \\\\ 0 & 1 & - \frac{5}{3} & \frac{89}{3} \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right]$

Step 9: $\left(R_2=R_2+\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 8 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right]$

Step 10: Rewrite the system using the row reduced matrix:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 8 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -13 \end{array} \right] \rightarrow \left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&5\\x_2&=&8\\x_3&=&-13\end{array}\right$

2) To solve the system of equations

$\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}4x_1&-x_2&+3x_3&=&12\\2x_1&&+9x_3&=&-5\\x_1&+4x_2&+6x_3&=&-32\end{array}\right$

using the row reduction method you must:

Step 1:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 4 & -1 & 3 & 12 \\\\ 2 & 0 & 9 & -5 \\\\ 1 & 4 & 6 & -32 \end{array} \right]$

Step 2: $\left(R_1=\frac{R_1}{4}\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 2 & 0 & 9 & -5 \\\\ 1 & 4 & 6 & -32 \end{array} \right]$

Step 3: $\left(R_2=R_2-\left(2\right)R_1\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 0 & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{15}{2} & -11 \\\\ 1 & 4 & 6 & -32 \end{array} \right]$

Step 4: $\left(R_3=R_3-R_1\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 0 & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{15}{2} & -11 \\\\ 0 & \frac{17}{4} & \frac{21}{4} & -35 \end{array} \right]$

Step 5: $\left(R_2=\left(2\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & - \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} & 3 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & \frac{17}{4} & \frac{21}{4} & -35 \end{array} \right]$

Step 6: $\left(R_1=R_1+\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & \frac{9}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & \frac{17}{4} & \frac{21}{4} & -35 \end{array} \right]$

Step 7: $\left(R_3=R_3-\left(\frac{17}{4}\right)R_2\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{9}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & 0 & - \frac{117}{2} & \frac{117}{2} \end{array} \right]$

Step 8: $\left(R_3=\left(- \frac{2}{117}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & \frac{9}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]$

Step 9: $\left(R_1=R_1-\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 15 & -22 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]$

Step 10: $\left(R_2=R_2-\left(15\right)R_3\right)$

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -7 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]$

Step 11:

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -7 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{array} \right]\rightarrow \left\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&2\\x_2&=&-7\\x_3&=&-1\end{array}\right$
