Answer:
= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
1-6=5
1-6
{Subtract the numbers:} 1-6=-5
= -5
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)
Answer:
228 hydrogen atoms
Step-by-step explanation:
In a water molecule,
1/3rd is oxygen atoms, and
2/3rd (1 - 1/3 = 2/3) is hydrogen atoms
If there are 114 water molecules,
Total number of atoms would be:
3 * 114 = 342 (1 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atoms in 1 water molecule)
Out of these, 2/3rd would be hydrogen atoms, so:

There would be 228 hydrogen atoms
Your answer is 9-1/2x+5+4•x
