Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.

Use the last equation to write an expression for z.

  z = 4 -x +4y

Substitute this into the second equation:

  y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13

  y -16 +4x -16y = -13

  4x -15y -3 = 0

In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...

  3x +y +10 = 0

Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...

  x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"

  y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation

  z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z

The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

<em>Additional comment</em>

Written as an augmented matrix, the system of equations is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}-3&-1&0&10\\0&1&-4&-13\\1&-4&1&4\end{array}\right]

At homecoming, 125 tickets where sold. Tickets purchased for homecoming cost $20.5 without an activity card, and $15.75 with an
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Nearly 83 students did not had activity card.

Nearly 42 students had an activity card.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold at homecoming = 125

Cost of each  ticket without activity card = $20.5

Cost of each  ticket with activity card = $15.75

Total amount earned  = $2365

Let, the number of tickets sold without activity car d  = k

So, the number of tickets sold without card = (Total sold - k)

                                                                          = 125 - k

Now, according to the question:

$20.5(k) + $15.75(125 - k)  =  $2365

or, 20.5 k + 1968.5 - 15.75 k = 2365

⇒ 4.75 k = 2365 - 1968.5 = 396.5

⇒ k = \frac{396.5}{4.75 }  = 83.47

Hence, nearly 83 students did not had activity card.

So,the number of students that had activity card = 125 - 83.47 = 41.53 ~  42

Hence, nearly 42 students had an activity card.

Solve the system, or show that it has no solution. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. If there are an infinite number
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The system has an infinite set of solutions (x,y) = (x, \frac{x-5}{4})

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first equation:

20x - 80y = 100

20x = 100 + 80y

x = \frac{100 + 80y}{20}

x = 5 + 4y

Replacing on the second equation:

-14x + 56y = -70

-14(5 + 4y) + 56y = -70

-70 - 56y + 56y = -70

0 = 0

This means that the system has an infinite number of solutions, considering:

x = 5 + 4y

4y = x - 5

y = \frac{x - 5}{4}

The system has an infinite set of solutions (x,y) = (x, \frac{x-5}{4})
