Answer:
The product is:
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}15 & 14\\-1 & 9\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D15%20%26%2014%5C%5C-1%20%26%209%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem you need to multiply the first row only for the two first column of the others matrix and get the desired result:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&1\\-2&1&0\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-2\\3&5\\4&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%263%261%5C%5C-2%261%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D2%26-2%5C%5C3%265%5C%5C4%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

So the value of the element in the position
is 15

So the value of the element in the position
is 14
Then with these two values you can determinate the result matrix.
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}15 & 14\\-1 & 9\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D15%20%26%2014%5C%5C-1%20%26%209%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Answer:
a = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3a - 1 would equal 7
3a = 7 + 1
3a = 8
a = 8/3
First divide both sides by 12 so u get 5x -4.5 = 3. Now add 4.5 to both sides and u get 5x = 7.5. Now divide 7.5 by 5 and u get 1.5
