Difference of a number and -3 is 6. what is the number

1 answer:

5 0

Let x = the number we are looking for:

Difference means that we subtract:

$x-(-3)=6$

Two negative signs turn it into one positive sign (a plus):

$x+3=6$

We need to get x by itself, so we subtract 3 from both sides:

$x=3$

So now we know that the number we were asked to find is 3.

Construct an augmented matrix for this linear system: x − y − 4z = 5 2x 2z = 0 4x y z = 3.

Crazy boy [7]

The augmented matrix is,

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-1&-4&|&5\\2&0&2&|&0\\4&1&1&|&3\end{array}\right)$

We have given system of linear equation is,

$x - y - 4z = 5,2x + 2z = 0 ,4x +y +z = 3.$

<h3>What is the meaning of augmented matrix?</h3>

In an augmented matrix, each row represents one equation in the system and each column represents coefficients (with signs) of variables or the constant terms.

So, the first row is

$1\ -1\ -4\ 5$
