The answer would be 42
42*3 = 126
126+5 = 131
3(n)+5=131
3(n)+5 -5= 131-5
3(n)=126
3(n)/3= 126/3
n= 42

Answer:

$X = \begin{bmatrix}1&3\\ 2&4\end{bmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question we have at hand is, in other words,

$\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}\left(X\right)=\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ \:3&7\end{bmatrix}$ - where we have to solve for the value of $X$

If we have to isolate $X$ here, then we would have to take the inverse of the following matrix ...

$\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}$ ... so that it should be as follows ... $\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the equation as to solve for " $X$ " will be the following,

$X=\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ 3&7\end{bmatrix}$ - First find the 2 x 2 matrix inverse of the first portion,

$\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}$ = $\frac{1}{\det \begin{pmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{pmatrix}}\begin{pmatrix}1&-2\\ -1&4\end{pmatrix}$ = $\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\ -1&4\end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}&-1\\ -\frac{1}{2}&2\end{bmatrix}$

At this point we have to multiply the rows of the first matrix by the rows of the second matrix,

$X = \begin{bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}&-1\\ -\frac{1}{2}&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ 3&7\end{bmatrix}$ ,

$X = \begin{pmatrix}\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:8+\left(-1\right)\cdot \:3&\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:20+\left(-1\right)\cdot \:7\\ \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \:8+2\cdot \:3&\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \:20+2\cdot \:7\end{pmatrix}$ - Simplifying this, we should get ...

$\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\ 2&4\end{bmatrix}$ ... which is our solution.

Which is the most accurate way to estimate 66% of 14?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

9.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically when a question starts with which that means there are several options to choose from. Or multiple choice. Since you haven't provided that here, I'll tell you how I would estimate it.

50% of 14 is 7

10% of 14 is 1.4

5% of 14 is 1/2 of 10% of 14 which is 0.7

50% + 10% + 5% = 65%

Add them together: 7+1.4+0.7 = 9.1

$6 ? 5+4 =9
9-3 =6

I don't know if this is correct but this is how I would do it
