4.5 x 6.2 = 27.9
Hope that helps
Answer:
AGE=150
Step-by-step explanation:
FHD and GHC are supplementary, so:
180-30=150
CHG is corresponding to AGE, so AGE=150
Our matrix C is the encoder. Let X be our secret message and let B be our encoded message. Therefore the relationship between the 3 can be represented as:
CX = B
So we want to solve for X (our secret message). So using matrix algebra:
X = C^-1*B
where C^-1 is the inverse of C.
C^-1 = | 3 -2 |
|4 -3 |
So we take C^-1 and multiply it by matrix B to get X. Matrix B is already given to us. So just multiply those two. I used a calculator to get:
X = | 20 8 5 3 15 12 15 |
| 18 9 19 2 12 21 5 |
And since A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc....
We decode our message and it says:
X = | T H E C O L O |
| R I S B L U E |
So the answer is: The color is blue (D)
I used the Old Change New method and I crossed multiplied.
The answer is about $498 (I rounded $497.895875)
Check: $498>459.95 by 8.25%
You can use elimination
7x - 3y = 4
-10x + 3y = 2
Add both equations
-3x = 6, x = -2
Plug in -2 for x in one equation
7(-2) - 3y = 4
-14 - 3y = 4
-3y = 18, y = -6
Solution: x = -2, y = -6
