The given matrix equation is,

1.5\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&6\\8&4\end{array}\right] +y\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&4\\3&2\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right].

Multiplying the matrices with the scalars, the given equation becomes,

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x&9\\12&6\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}y&4y\\3y&2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]  \\

Adding the matrices,

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x+y&9+4y\\12+3y&6+2y\end{array}\right]  =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]  \\

Matrix equality gives,

1.5x+y=z\\ 9+4y=z\\ 12+3y=6z\\ 6+2y=2

Solving the equations together,

y=-2\\ 3y-1.5x=9\\ -1.5x=9+6\\ x=-10

We can see that the equations are not consistent.

There is no solution.

Vilka [71]

Answer: 1440°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the above question, we'll use the formula (n-2) × 180. In this question, we are told that it has 10 sides. This implies that n= 10. Therefore, using the formula goes thus:

= (n - 2) × 180

where, n = 10

= (10 - 2) × 180

= 8 × 180

= 1440

What's the answer for <br> W-y=3w-10
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if solving for y

solve for y by simplifying both sides of equation, then isolating the variable.

y=-3w+10+W

if solving for W

W=3w-10+y

if solving for w

w=W/3 - y/3 + 10/3
