We want to use a matrix to solve
-8x - 8y = -16
6x - 9y = -108
Before solving, simplify the equations as follows:
Divide the first equation by -8 to obtain
x + y = 2 (1)
Divide the second equation by 3 to obtain
2x - 3y = -36 (2)
In matrix form, the equations are

The determinant of the matrix is
D = (1)(-3) - (1)(2) = -5
Use Cramer's Rule.

Answer: (-6, 8) or x = -6, y = 8
The answer should be eight
Answer:
5.78 * 10^8
Step-by-step explanation:
8.5 * 6.8 = 57.8
5+2=7
In scientific notation the number has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than ten.
The answer is 4 3/8 boxes because 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 = 4 3/8.
The right answer is Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Boxes of ice cream received = 50
Ice-creams in each box = 12
Total ice-cream bars = No. of boxes * Ice cream bars in each box
Total ice-cream bars = 
No. of people who had ice cream bars = 520
Ice-cream bars left = Total ice cream bars - No. of people who had ice cream
Ice cream bars left = 
80 ice cream bars were left.
The right answer is Option D.
