418-261=157
Answer: 157
I think this is what the problem is asking
Our matrix C is the encoder. Let X be our secret message and let B be our encoded message. Therefore the relationship between the 3 can be represented as:
CX = B
So we want to solve for X (our secret message). So using matrix algebra:
X = C^-1*B
where C^-1 is the inverse of C.
C^-1 = | 3 -2 |
|4 -3 |
So we take C^-1 and multiply it by matrix B to get X. Matrix B is already given to us. So just multiply those two. I used a calculator to get:
X = | 20 8 5 3 15 12 15 |
| 18 9 19 2 12 21 5 |
And since A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc....
We decode our message and it says:
X = | T H E C O L O |
| R I S B L U E |
So the answer is: The color is blue (D)
Answer:
The standard, or near-average, atmospheric pressure at sea level on the Earth is 1013.25 millibars, or about 14.7 pounds per square inch.
The gauge pressure in my automobile tires is a little more than twice that value. If you live at a higher altitude, the pressure will be lower since there is less air above weighing down upon you. The pressure also varies by relatively small amounts as high and low pressure systems move past.
Step-by-step explanation:
When given a function and asked to find the value of a number, in this case g(12), simply plug 12 into all x places in the equation:
g(12)=3(12+8)
g(12)=36+24
g(12)=60
Answer:
It will take approximately 25 months
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount owed on the credit card statement, P = $2,000
The interest rate of the credit on the credit card, r = 18.9%
The minimum monthly payment made, M = $100
The equal monthly installment formula is given as follows;

Therefore, we get;

100×1.01575ⁿ - 100 = 31.50×1.01575ⁿ
100×1.01575ⁿ - 31.50×1.01575ⁿ = 100
68.5×1.01575ⁿ = 100
1.01575ⁿ = 100/68.5
n = ln(100/68.5)/ln(1.01575) ≈ 24.21 (which is approximately 25 months, by rounding up to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, it will take approximately 25 months to pay off the credit card debt
