Answer:
2.718
Step-by-step explanation:
The thousandths place is 3 to the right of the decimal (the 8).
Since the next number is 2, the number stays the same and does not round up.
Hope this helps :)
The given system of equations in augmented matrix form is
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\-6&1&2&4&-12\\1&-3&-3&5&-20\\-2&5&6&0&12\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7Cc%7D3%262%26-4%262%26-23%5C%5C-6%261%262%264%26-12%5C%5C1%26-3%26-3%265%26-20%5C%5C-2%265%266%260%2612%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
If you need to solve this, first get the matrix in RREF:
- Add 2(row 1) to row 2, row 1 to -3(row 3), and 2(row 1) to 3(row 4):
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&-6&8&-58\\0&11&5&-13&37\\0&19&10&4&-10\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7Cc%7D3%262%26-4%262%26-23%5C%5C0%265%26-6%268%26-58%5C%5C0%2611%265%26-13%2637%5C%5C0%2619%2610%264%26-10%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
- Add 11(row 2) to -5(row 3), and 19(row 1) to -5(row 4):

So the solution to this system is 
.
(A) 5x+2y=21
(B) -2x+6y=-34
multiply (A) by - 3→ -15x - 6y = - 63 (C)
Now add (C) to (B):
-15x - 6y = - 63 (C)
-2x + 6y =-34 (B)
----------- --------
-17x = - 97 and x = 97/17
Now replace x value in any of the equation and you'll find y = - 64/17
1st Answer (97/17 , - 64/17)
2nd Answer : 97/17 + (-64/17) = 97/17 - 64/17 = 33/17 ≈ 2
<span>(7x^4+x+14)/(x+2)
</span>(7x^4+x+14)----------------------|(x+2)
-14x³+x+14-------------------------7x³-14x²+28x-55------> q(x)
28x²+x+14
-55x+14
110+14=124------------------------> r(x)
<span>
</span>r(x)=124
b(x)=x+2
q(x)=7x³-14x²+28x-55
then
q(x) + r(x)/b(x)---------> (7x³-14x²+28x-55)+(124)/(x+2)
the answer is (7x³-14x²+28x-55)+(124)/(x+2)
