Answer:

The matrix method is basically making the matrix in the picture equal to

{1   0 = x}

{0   1 = y}

To do this you must multiply reciprocals and add opposites to make 2x = 1, 7y = 0, 3x = 0, and -12y = 1.

I used the simple way of solving linear equations:

3(2x + 7y = 48)

-2(3x - 12y = 27)

6x + 21y = 144

-6x + 24y = -42

       45y/45 = 102/45

y = 34/15 or 2.26667

Plug in y-value to get x-value:

2x + 7(34/15) = 48

     - 7(34/15)     -7(34/15)

2x = 482/15

2x/2 = 482/15/2

x = 241/15 or 16.06667

A Variable is a symbol for a number we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y. A number on its own is called a Constant.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

6x^2 -11x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x^2 + 3) - (6x + 4) + (3x^2 - 5x)

Distribute the minus sign

(3x^2 + 3) - 6x - 4) + (3x^2 - 5x)

Combine like terms

3x^2 + 3x^2 - 6x  - 5x -4+3

6x^2 -11x -1

1/3(-15 divide 1/2) 1/4 what does it equal
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

-2.5 or - 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing out the expression Mathematically ;

1/3(-15÷1/2)1/4

Using PEMDAS :

Solving the bracket first

(-15 ÷ 1/2) = (-15 * 2/1) = - 30

We have :

1/3(-30)1/4 = - 10 * 1/4 = - 10 / 4 = - 2.5

-2.5 = - 2 1/2

in CAT the measure of the largest angle is 10 less than 5 time the smallest angle. The measure of the middle angle is 6 more tha
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The measure of middles angle is 113.5° .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measure of the largest angle is 10 less than 5 time the smallest angle.

The measure of the middle angle is 6 more than twice the measure of the largest angle

Let The largest angle = L

Let The middle angle = M

Let The smallest angle = S

As per statement

Largest angle = 5 times smallest angle - 10

i.e L = 5 × S - 10                .....1

Again

Middle angle = twice largest angle + 6

i.e M = 2 × L + 6                ......2

Since for any Triangle sum of three angles = 180°

i.e ∠L + ∠M + ∠S = 180°

Or, ( 5 × S - 10 ) + ( 2 × L + 6 ) + S = 180°

Or,  ( 5 × S - 10 ) + [ 2 × (5 × S - 10 ) + 6 ] + S = 180°      

Or, 5 S - 10 + (10 S - 20 + 6) + S = 180°      

Or, 5 S - 10 + 10 S - 20 + 6 + S = 180°    

Or, (5 + 10 + 1) S - 24 =  180°    

Or, 16 S =  180° + 24

Or, 16 S = 204

∴  S = \dfrac{204}{16}

i.e S = 12.75

So, The measure of smallest angle = S = 12.75°

And

L = 5 × 12.75 - 10  

i.e L = 53.75

So, The measure of Largest angle = L = 53.75°

And

M = 2 × L + 6                

Or, M = 2 × 53.75 + 6

i.e M = 107.5 + 6 = 113.5

So, The measure of middles angle = M = 113.5°

Hence,  The measure of middles angle is 113.5° . Answer

deff fn [24]
Subtract $145-$53 and you will get 92.
Then divide 92 by 23 and you get 4.
The answer is 4 because when you subract 53 from 145 you are seeing how much you paid without the fee.

Simplify the given equation.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(x-3) = -2(x - 1)

1. Distribute 2 through the parentheses:

5x + 2x - 6 = -2 (x - 1)

2. Distribute -2 through the parentheses:

5x + 2x - 6 = -2x + 2

3. Collect like terms:

7x - 6 = -2x + 2
