Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.

Since a total of 47 hats where purchased,  hence:

x + y + z = 47    (1)

Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:

5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302     (2)

He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:

y = 3x

-x + 3y = 0    (3)

Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]

Therefore he purchases 6 small hats, 18 medium hats and 23 large hats

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because 8x8^58x85 only takes the 8 that it is up against to the fifth power, but (8x8)^5(8x8)5 takes the whole expression to the fifth power.
