72 different orders, each soup can have a different meat and other* so take 4* 6* 3 because that is how many different combanations you can do
The matrices are
S =(4 11 T= ( -8 11
-3 -8) 3 4 )
Inverse of a matrix is a matrix derived from another matrix such that if you pre- multiply it with the original matrix you get a unit matrix.
if we multiply S and T
ST will be
( 4 11 × (-8 11 = ( 1 0
-3 -8) -3 -4) 0 1)
and also TS
( -8 11 × (4 11 = ( 1 0
-3 -4) -3 -8) 0 1)
therefore, matrices S and T are inverses of each other because ST = TS= I
.
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
This question is super easy, all you need to do is isolate the y variable. When you want to isolate it, you have to get rid of other numbers by doing the opposite sign.
x+2y=8 Subtract the x.
2y=8-x Divide by two.
y=4-1/2x
