This involves quite a lot of arithmetic to do manually.
The first thing you do is to make the first number in row 2 = to 0.
This is done by R2 = -3/2 R1 + R2
so the matrix becomes
( 2 1 1) ( -3 )
( 0 -13/2 3/2) (1/2 )
(5 -1 2) (-2)
Next step is to make the 5 in row 5 = 0
then the -1 must become zero
You aim for the form
( 1 0 0) (x)
(0 1 0) (y)
(0 0 1) ( z)
x , y and z will be the required solutions.
A. 1 pound of cherries costs 2.50
B. Yes it is constant
C. I believe that you would put cost on the y and lbs on the x
E. 5 lbs of cherries = 2.50 x 5 = $12.50
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps
Use the point-slope formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-1=-3(x-1)
y-1=-3x+3
y=-3x+4
