Perform the indicated row operations, then write the new matrix.
Studentka2010 [4]

The matrix is not properly formatted.

However, I'm able to rearrange the question as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\-2&3&5|3\\3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]

Operations:

2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2

-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3

Please note that the above may not reflect the original question. However, you should be able to implement my steps in your question.

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first operation:

2R_1 + R_2 ->R_2

This means that the new second row (R2) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by 2; add this to the second row

The row 1 elements are:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]

Multiply by 2

2 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right]

Add to row 2 elements are: \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&2|-2\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&5|3\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&5&7|1\end{array}\right]

The second operation:

-3R_1 +R_3 ->R_3

This means that the new third row (R3) is derived by:

Multiplying the first row (R1) by -3; add this to the third row

The row 1 elements are:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right]

Multiply by -3

-3 * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right]

Add to row 2 elements are: \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&-3&-3|3\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2&4|1\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]

Hence, the new matrix is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1|-1\\0&5&7|1\\0&-1&1|4\end{array}\right]

What do you do to both sides to<br> r? What is r? 3/8 r = 6 HELP ME
faust18 [17]

Answer:

r = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{8}r = 6 \\\\

Multiply both sides by 8

8*\frac{3}{8}r = 6*8\\\\3r = 48\\

Divide both side by 3

\frac{3}{3}r=\frac{48}{3}\\\\r = 16

OR

Multiply both side by (8/3)

\frac{8}{3}*\frac{3}{8}r=6*\frac{8}{3}\\\\r = 2*8\\\\r = 16

write an equation to represent the information in this problem. Jerel runs five days each week. on each of 4 days, he runs 2.3 km. if jerel runs a total of 14km, how many kilometers does he run on the fifth day?

Let x be the distance run on the fifth day

Total distance run on all the four days = 2.3 * 4 = 9.2 km

Required equation : x + 9.2 = 14

x = 14 - 9.2

x = 4.8 km
