<h3>Answer:  120</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

There are 5 choices for the first selection, 4 choices for the second, etc etc until we reach 1 for the last selection. We have the countdown {5,4,3,2,1}. We'll multiply those values together to get our answer.

5*4*3*2*1 = 120

This operation of starting with some integer, counting down and multiplying along the way, is done so very often that it's given a name which is "factorial". The shorthand notation is to use an exclamation mark. So we'd say 5! = 120

The augmented matrix of a system of equations has been transformed to an equivalent matrix in​ row-echelon form. Using​ x, y
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: The system of equations is:

x + 2y + 2 = 4

y - 3z = 9

z = - 2

The solution is: x = -22; y = 15; z = -2;

Step-by-step explanation: ONe way of solving a system of equations is using the Gauss-Jordan Elimination.

The method consists in transforming the system into an augmented matrix, which is writing the system in form of a matrix and then into a <u>Row</u> <u>Echelon</u> <u>Form,</u> which satisfies the following conditions:

  • There is a row of all zeros at the bottom of the matrix;
  • The first non-zero element of any row is 1, which called leading role;
  • The leading row of the first row is to the right of the leading role of the previous row;

For this question, the matrix is a Row Echelon Form and is written as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&2\\0&1&3\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\9\\-2\end{array}\right]

or in system form:

x + 2y + 2z = 4

       y + 3z = 9

               z = -2

Now, to determine the variables:

z = -2

y + 3(-2) = 9

y = 15

x + 30 - 4 = 4

x = - 22

The solution is (-22,15,-2).

One of our brainliest, Konrad509, made this:
Reil [10]

\dfrac{B_x \sqrt{74_x}}{1D_x}+J_x51_x=4G3_x

A=10, B=11, C=12, etc.

\dfrac{11\cdot x^0\cdot \sqrt{7\cdot x^1+4\cdot x^0}}{1\cdot x^1+13\cdot x^0}+19\cdot x^0\cdot (5\cdot x^1+1\cdot x^0)=4\cdot x^2+16\cdot x^1+3\cdot x^0\\\\\dfrac{11\sqrt{7x+4}}{x+13}+19(5x+1)=4x^2+16x+3\\\\\dfrac{11\sqrt{7x+4}}{x+13}+95x+19=4x^2+16x+3\\\\11\sqrt{7x+4}+95x(x+13)+19(x+13)=(4x^2+16x+3)(x+13)\\\\11\sqrt{7x+4}+95x^2+1235x+19x+247=4x^3+52x^2+16x^2+208x+3x+39\\\\11\sqrt{7x+4}=4x^3-27x^2-1043x-208\\\\121(7x+4)=(4x^3-27x^2-1043x-208)^2

121(7x+4)=(4x^3-27x^2-1043x-208)^2\\\\847x+484=16 x^6 - 216 x^5 - 7615 x^4 + 54658 x^3 + 1099081 x^2 + 433888 x + 43264\\\\16 x^6 - 216 x^5 - 7615 x^4 + 54658 x^3 + 1099081 x^2 + 433041 x +42780=0

Now, the "only" thing that remains to do is solving the above equation.

While making this problem I only made sure it has a solution. I didn't try to solve it myself and I didn't know it will end up with such "convoluted" polynomial. Sorry to everyone who tried to solve it... m(_ _)m

I think the best way to approach it is using the rational root theorem since we know that x\in\mathbb{N}. Moreover we can deduce that x\geq19 since there is J and J=19.

After you succesfully solve it, you should get the answer x=20.
