Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
a A + b A where A is a matrix and a and b are scalars
( a+b) A
3+5
= 8![\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&2\\4&-5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D-1%262%5C%5C4%26-5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The given matrix equation is,
.
Multiplying the matrices with the scalars, the given equation becomes,
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x&9\\12&6\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}y&4y\\3y&2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1.5x%269%5C%5C12%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dy%264y%5C%5C3y%262y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dz%26z%5C%5C6z%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20)
Adding the matrices,
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x+y&9+4y\\12+3y&6+2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1.5x%2By%269%2B4y%5C%5C12%2B3y%266%2B2y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dz%26z%5C%5C6z%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C%20)
Matrix equality gives,

Solving the equations together,

We can see that the equations are not consistent.
There is no solution.
Answer:
20 homes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Total number of homes = 800
Average years at which homes are listed = 8 years
To obtain the annual home listing = total number of Homes / average years
Annual home listing = 800 / 8
Annual home listing = 100 homes
If 20% of the homes are listed on the year in question :
20% of 100 homes
0.2 * 100
= 20 homes
20 homes can be listed that year


multiply both sides by .4 to isolate the x variable.

x = 1.6
