Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = -10 -------- (1)

x-y = 2 ------- (2)

from (1)

x+y = -10

y = -10-x -------- (3)

substitute (3) into (2)

x-y = 2

x-(-10-x) = 2

x+10+x = 2

2x = 2-10

2x = -8

x = -8/2

x = -4

Solve the given system of equations using either Gaussian or Gauss-Jordan elimination. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTI

Answer:

The system has infinitely many solutions

$\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&-x_3\\x_2&=&-x_3\\x_3&=&arbitrary\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Gauss–Jordan elimination is a method of solving a linear system of equations. This is done by transforming the system's augmented matrix into reduced row-echelon form by means of row operations.

An Augmented matrix, each row represents one equation in the system and each column represents a variable or the constant terms.

There are three elementary matrix row operations:

Switch any two rows
Multiply a row by a nonzero constant
Add one row to another

To solve the following system

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x_1&-3x_2&-2x_3&=&0\\-x_1&2x_2&x_3&=&0\\2x_1&+3x_2&+5x_3&=&0\end{array}$

Step 1: Transform the augmented matrix to the reduced row echelon form

$\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & -3 & -2 & 0 \\\\ -1 & 2 & 1 & 0 \\\\ 2 & 3 & 5 & 0 \end{array} \right]$

This matrix can be transformed by a sequence of elementary row operations

Row Operation 1: add 1 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

Row Operation 2: add -2 times the 1st row to the 3rd row

Row Operation 3: multiply the 2nd row by -1

Row Operation 4: add -9 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

Row Operation 5: add 3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

to the matrix

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

The reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix is

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

which corresponds to the system

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x_1&&-x_3&=&0\\&x_2&+x_3&=&0\\&&0&=&0\end{array}$

The system has infinitely many solutions.

$\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&-x_3\\x_2&=&-x_3\\x_3&=&arbitrary\end{array}$

For every 4 miles vanessa jogged cody jogged 3 miles if vanessa jogged 1 miles how far did cody have jogged

Sergio [31]

divide 3 by 4 = 3/4 = 0.75

so Cody jogs 3/4 mile for every 1 mile Vanessa runs
