Answer:

Helena gave the answer as (7y²z + 6yz²- 5 - 3yz² + 2) which is equivalent to (7y²z + 3yz² - 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Misha's group was asked to write an expression equivalent to  

7y²z + 3yz² - 3

When Mr. Chen checked their answers, he found only one to be correct.

And she was Helena.

Helena gave the answer as (7y²z + 6yz²- 5 - 3yz² + 2) which is equivalent to (7y²z + 3yz² - 3).  

Because, (7y²z + 6yz²- 5 - 3yz² + 2)

= 7y²z + (6yz² - 3yz²) - (5 - 2)  

= 7y²z + 3yz² - 3 (Answer)

Kamal wrote the augmented matrix below to represent a system of equations
ra1l [238]

Consider the operation is R_2\to -3R_2.

Given:

The augmented matrix below represents a system of equations.

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\1&3&-1\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-9\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

To find:

Matrix results from the operation R_2\to -3R_2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\1&3&-1\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-9\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

After applying R_2\to -3R_2, we get

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\-3(1)&-3(3)&-3(-1)\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-3(-9)\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\-3&-9&3\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\27\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

Therefore, the correct option is A.
