Answer:
1 month
Step-by-step explanation:
249 is the amount she spends for buying the kitten, (299-50=249) which she only has to pay once.
20 is the amount she has to spend every month, the rate of change.
The problem can be modeled with the general equation:
y = 20x + 249
In this equation, x the the time in months and y is the amount of money spent.
Substitute 250 for y.
y = 20x + 249
250 = 20x + 249 <= isolate x to get the number of months
1 = 20x
x = 1/20
Carol will only spent money every month, not for 1/20 of a month.
It will only take Carol 1 month to spent $250.
Check answer:
Substitute x for 1
y = 20x + 249
y = 20(1) + 249
y = 269
269 is more than 250 already.
c/2-3+6/d
substitute c=14 and d=13:
14/2-3+6/13
simplify:
7-3+6/13
4+6/13
multiply 4 by 13/13 to group like terms (for a fraction):
52/13+6/13
combine:
58/13
Therefore, the answer is 58/13 or around 4.462
Answer:
The system is consistent because the rightmost column of the augmented matrix is not a pivot column.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the coefficient of the matrix of a linear equation has a pivot position in every row.
It is provided by the Existence and Uniqueness theorem that linear system is said to be consistent when only the column in the rightmost of the matrix which is augmented is not a pivot column.
When the linear system is considered consistent, then every solution set consists of either unique solution where there will be no any variables which are free or infinitely many solutions, when there is at least one free variable. This explains why the system is consistent.
For any m x n augmented matrix of any system, if its co-efficient matrix has a pivot position in every row, then there will never be a row of the form [0 .... 0 b].
