Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 127

5.80A + 4.25B = 657.55

Solve with substitution.

5.80A + 4.25(127 − A) = 657.55

5.80A + 539.75 − 4.25A = 657.55

1.55A = 117.80

A = 76

For what value(s) of k is the linear system consistent? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$6x_1-9x_2=8$

$9x_1+kx_2=-1$

The given system is $AX=B$ can be represented by

$\begin{bmatrix}6 &-9 \\ 9 & k\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x_1\\ x_2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}8\\ -1\end{bmatrix}$

The given system is consistent when determinant of A is not equal to zero

$|A|$

$|A|=6k-(-81)=6k+81$

$k\neq \frac{-27}{2}$

i.e. system is consistent for all value of k except $k=\frac{-27}{2}$

$R-\frac{-27}{2}$

Solve for x in the diagram below.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

x= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles add to 90 degrees

x+2x+x+10 = 90

Combine like terms

4x+10 = 90

Subtract 10 from each side

4x +10-10 = 90-10

4x = 80

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 80/4

x = 20
