This involves quite a lot of arithmetic to do manually.
The first thing you do is to make the first number in row 2 = to 0.
This is done by R2 = -3/2 R1 + R2
so the matrix becomes
( 2 1 1) ( -3 )
( 0 -13/2 3/2) (1/2 )
(5 -1 2) (-2)
Next step is to make the 5 in row 5 = 0
then the -1 must become zero
You aim for the form
( 1 0 0) (x)
(0 1 0) (y)
(0 0 1) ( z)
x , y and z will be the required solutions.
Answer=40 games
32games x games
________=________
80% 100%
Cross Multiply
80x=3200
divide both sides by 80
x=40games
80% of 40games is 32 games
Answer:
Question?
Is the wording: price of "a" dollars, (in italics)?
If so, the equation would be:
0.8a
Otherwise, if "x" represents the regular price, then the equation would be:
0.8x
Step-by-step explanation:
You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.
We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:
0.88*150 = 132
0.94*150 = 141
0.9*150 = 135
The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:
150+150+150+250 = 700
93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.
Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651
408 + x = 651
Subtract 408 from both sides:
408+x-408 = 651-408
x = 243
