≈ -5.4857
≈ 3.7262
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the equation system as:



Now, write the system in its augmented matrix form:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}6&8&0&-75\\-3&6&6&5\\2&-9&0&39\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D6%268%260%26-75%5C%5C-3%266%266%265%5C%5C2%26-9%260%2639%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
applying row reduction process to its associated augmented matrix:
Swap R1 and R3, and then Swap R1 and R2:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-3&6&6&5\\2&-9&0&39\\6&8&0&-75\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D-3%266%266%265%5C%5C2%26-9%260%2639%5C%5C6%268%260%26-75%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

Now we have a simplified system:


From (3):
(4)
Replacing (4) in (2)
(5)
Finally replacing (5) and (4) in (1)

Answer:
J Compound interest; $298.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Interest compounding pays interest on the interest. For the same annual rate, any amount of compounding will earn more interest.
For short time periods, the effect of compounding is not great. In general, it will be a fraction of the equivalent simple interest rate. Here, the effective multiplier for annual compounding is ...
1.051^4 = 1.22024337
and the effective multiplier for simple interest is ...
1 +0.051·4 = 1.204
Then the difference in interest rate multiplier for the 4-year period is ...
1.22024337 -1.204 = 0.01614337
That fraction of the $18500 principal is $298.65.
Compound interest earns $298.65 more than simple interest in this scenario.
Hope this helps, have an amazing day!
Answer:
27.8%
Step-by-step explanation:

0.722 = 72.2%
The % reduction is:
(100-72.2)% = 27.8%
Hope this helps
To simplify this expression, you have to remember that when
a number or a variable is raised to the negative exponent you have to
reciprocate the number. In this expression, c^-8 will be reciprocated so it
will become part of the numerator. Therefore, the final answer would be
12c^8/d^2.
