Answer:

You need to simplify 0.3(12x + -16) = 0.4(12 + -3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reorder the terms:

0.3(-16 + 12x) = 0.4(12 + -3x) (-16 * 0.3 + 12x * 0.3) = 0.4(12 + -3x) (-4.8 + 3.6x) = 0.4(12 + -3x) -4.8 + 3.6x = (12 * 0.4 + -3x * 0.4) -4.8 + 3.6x = (4.8 + -1.2x)

Solving -4.8 + 3.6x = 4.8 + -1.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1.2x' to each side of the equation. -4.8 + 3.6x + 1.2x = 4.8 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: 3.6x + 1.2x = 4.8x -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: -1.2x + 1.2x = 0.0 -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 0.0 -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 Add '4.8' to each side of the equation. -4.8 + 4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8

Combine like terms: -4.8 + 4.8 = 0.0 0.0 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8

Combine like terms: 4.8 + 4.8 = 9.6 4.8x = 9.6 Divide each side by '4.8'. x = 2

Simplifying x = 2

Explain why this matrix equation has no solution: A 11 17 −8 13 = 0 0 0 0.
qwelly [4]

The matrix equation has no solution because the same matrix of equal magnitude and opposite in nature is been added to it.

Given to us

A + [11   17   -8    13] = [0   0   0   0]

<h3>What is the value of matrix A?</h3>

We know that the given matrix will give values as zero if the same matrix is been deducted from it, therefore,

A + [11   17   -8    13] = [0   0   0   0]

A = [0   0   0   0] - [11   17   -8    13]

A = [-11   -17   +8    -13]

Thus, the matrix is equal to [-11   -17   +8    -13].

<h3>why this matrix equation has no solution?</h3>

The matrix equation has no solution because the same matrix of equal magnitude and opposite in nature is been added to it, therefore, [11   17   -8    13] is been added to it.

Thus, the sum of the two matrices has no solution.

Sutopa has 3/4 of the money Maneet has. Maneet has $18 less than Kim. Together, they have $286.40. How much money does each of t
anastassius [24]

Solving a system of equations we can see:

  • Sutopa has $73.20
  • Maneet has $97.60
  • Kim has $115.60

<h3>How much money each of them has?</h3>

First, let's define the variables:

  • S =  money that Sutopa has.
  • M = money that Maneet has.
  • K = money that Kim has.

We can write the system of equations:

S = (3/4)*M

M = K - $18

S + M + K = $286.40

First, we can rewrite the second equation to get:

K = M + $18

Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:

(3/4)*M + M + (M + $18) = $286.40

Now we can solve this for M:

M*(1 + 1 + 3/4) = $286.40 - $18

M = $268.40*(4/11) = $97.60

Now we can find the other two values:

K = M + $18 =  $97.60 + $18 = $115.60

S =  (3/4)*M =  (3/4)*$97.60 = $73.20

An interior designer is planning a room but needs to first figure out the dimensions. The length of the room is 23 inches on the
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

  30.67 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is often useful for solving scale drawing problems.

  actual size : drawing size = (room length) : (23 in) = (2 ft) : (1.5 in)

Multiplying by 23 in gives ...

  room length = (2 ft)(23 in)/(1.5 in) = 46/1.5 ft = 30 2/3 ft

  room length ≈ 30.67 ft.
