Answer:

A) $27 = b + 9$

$b=18$

Step-by-step explanation:

When given a balanced scale (represented by a hanger in this image), the sum of the values on one side equals the value on the other side. Thus, the equation that this hanger represents is the following:

$27 = b + 9$

Use inverse operations to solve this equation,

$27 = b + 9$

$-9$

$18 = b$

<h2>The required solution is x = 6 and y = 11 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

x+5y = 11 and x-y =5

$A= \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right]$ $X=\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]$

and $B= \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]$

∴AX=B

$adj A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]$

$A= \left|\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right|=-6$

∴ $A^{-1} =\frac{adj A}{|A|}$

So, $A^{-1} =\frac{ \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]}{-6}$

$A^{-1} ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c} {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\ {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]}$

$X =A^{-1}\times B$

⇒ $\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c} {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\ {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]} \times \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]$
