Answer: x ≥ -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 + 5x ≥ -13

First, we plus 8 on both sides

5x ≥ -5

And then we divide 5 from both sides

x ≥ -1

Answer:

x≥-1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x≥-5

x≥-1

Add like terms which are -8 and -13

that gives you -5

Divide 5 on both sides to isolate x and you have x is greater than or equal to -1

Solve for XX. Assume XX is a 2×22×2 matrix and II denotes the 2×22×2 identity matrix. Do not use decimal numbers in your answer.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Solve for X. Assume X is a 2x2 matrix and I denotes the 2x2 identity matrix. Do not use decimal numbers in your answer. If there are fractions, leave them unevaluated.

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&8\\-6&-9\end{array}\right]$ · X· $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]$ =I.

First, we have to identify the matrix I. As it was said, the matrix is the identiy matrix, which means

I = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

So, $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&8\\-6&-9\end{array}\right]$ · X· $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

Isolating the X, we have

X· $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&8\\-6&-9\end{array}\right]$ - $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

Resolving:

X· $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2-1&8-0\\-6-0&-9-1\end{array}\right]$

X· $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]$

Now, we have a problem similar to A.X=B. To solve it and because we don't divide matrices, we do X=A⁻¹·B. In this case,

X= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]$ ⁻¹· $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]$

Now, a matrix with index -1 is called Inverse Matrix and is calculated as: A . A⁻¹ = I.

So,

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-3\\7&-6\end{array}\right]$ · $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]$

9a - 3b = 1

7a - 6b = 0

9c - 3d = 0

7c - 6d = 1

Resolving these equations, we have a= $\frac{2}{11}$ ; b= $\frac{7}{33}$ ; c= $\frac{-1}{11}$ and d= $\frac{-3}{11}$ . Substituting:

X= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{2}{11} &\frac{-1}{11} \\\frac{7}{33}&\frac{-3}{11} \end{array}\right]$ · $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&8\\-6&-10\end{array}\right]$

Multiplying the matrices, we have

X= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{8}{11} &\frac{26}{11} \\\frac{39}{11}&\frac{198}{11} \end{array}\right]$

44 boots were sold all together. To figure this out first you need to find how many of the other boots there were. 8 rugby boots and 12 hiking boots. 8 + 12 + 24 = 44.
