Answer:

the football team drank 10 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

if the football team drank 1/3 less than 15, 1/3 of 15 is 5 so you would then subtract 5 from 15 and you get 10

The recommended approach for such equations is to eliminate fractions first, by multiplying by the LCM of the denominators. You can simply simplify, then work them as a 2-step linear equation, doing your arithmetic with the fractions as they are.

a) (5x-1)/7 + (4x-3)/2 -(3-2x)/2 = 6 . . . . . given

... 2(5x -1) +7(4x -3) -7(3 -2x) = 84 . . . . . multiply by 14

... 10x -2 +28x -21 -21 +14x = 84 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 52x -44 = 84 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

... 52x = 128 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 44

... x = 32/13 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 52 and simplify

b) (4x−3)/2 − (5−2x)/3 − (3x−4)/3 = 5 . . . given

... 2x -3/2 -5/3 +(2/3)x -x +4/3 = 5 . . . . . . .eliminate parentheses

... (5/3)x -11/6 = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

... (5/3)x = 41/6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 11/6

... x = (41/6)/(5/3) = 41/10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x

Using the first method, you're dealing with integers and you can do a lot of the math in your head. Using the second method, you're dealing with fractions and mixed numbers. A calculator can be helpful, especially if it handles arithmetic with fractions nicely, as many graphing calculators do.

Determine if the specified linear transformation is ​(a​) ​one-to-one and ​(b​) onto. Justify your answer. ​T: ​, ​T(​)​(​,​), ​
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

C. T is not​ one-to-one because the standard matrix A has a free variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

T(x_1,x_2,x_3) = (x_1-5x_2+4x_3,x_2 - 6x_3)

Required

Determine if it is linear or onto

Represent the above as a matrix.

T(x_1,x_2,x_3) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-5&4\\0&1&-6\\0&0&0\end{array}\right]  \left[\begin{array}{c}x_1&x_2&x_3\end{array}\right]

From the above matrix, we observe that the matrix does not have a pivot in every column.

This means that the column are not linearly independent, & it has a free variable and as such T is not one-on-one
