Did u put any picture because i think there should be a picture
So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.

Simplify both sides if needed. The left-hand side needs simplification.
4(x - 6)

-2x + 6
4x - 24

-2x + 6
All is left to do is add and subtract to get the x variable all alone.
4x - 24

-2x + 6
6x - 24

6 <-- Add 2x to both sides
6x

30 <-- Add 24 to both sides
x

5 <-- Divide both sides by 6
In order to be in the solution set, x has to be less than or equal to 5.
In interval notation: [5, -∞)

Answer:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%262%265%5C%5C1%261%261%5C%5C4%266%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%2A%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx1%5C%5Cx2%5C%5Cx3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%5C%5C6%5C%5C7%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the answer.
Because we have 3 equations and 3 variables (x1, x2, x3) a 3x3 matrix (A) can be constructed by using their respectively coefficients.
Equations:
Eq. 1 : x1 + 2x2 + 5x3 = 5
Eq. 2 : x1 + x2 + x3 = 6
E1. 3 : 4x1 + 6x2 + 5x3 = 7
Coefficients for x1 ; x2 ; x3
From eq. 1 : 1 ; 2 ; 5
From eq. 2 : 1 ; 1 ; 1
From eq. 3 : 4 ; 6 ; 5
So matrix A is:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%262%265%5C%5C1%261%261%5C%5C4%266%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
And the vector of vriables (X) is:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx1%5C%5Cx2%5C%5Cx3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now we can find the resulting vector (B) using the 'resulting values' from each equation:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%5C%5C6%5C%5C7%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
In conclusion, AX=B is:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%262%265%5C%5C1%261%261%5C%5C4%266%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%2A%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx1%5C%5Cx2%5C%5Cx3%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%5C%5C6%5C%5C7%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
