5 2/3 = 17/3 = 34/6
8 5/6 = 53/6
34/6 - 53/6 = -19/6 = -3 1/6
The correct answer is A. D
That is because D has a horizontal line of symmetry, as can be seen on it.
My answer would be 8.. I may not be correct, but I tried. So, I placed the numbers from least to greatest and split it 1’s and 2’s VS 3’s and 4’s. I just added 1 plus 2 plus 2 and a half plus 2 and a half and got 8. I also added (3+3+3)+3 and a half plus 3
Answer:
(2.83 , 1 , 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite these equations in matrix form
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&-1\\4&-2&-2\\3&3&-4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\2\\-4\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%26-1%5C%5C4%26-2%26-2%5C%5C3%263%26-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C2%5C%5C-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
we can write it like this,
so to solve it we need to take the inverse of the 3 x 3 matrix A then multiply it by B.
We get the inverse of matrix A,
![A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7/15&1/6&-1/5\\1/3&-1/6&0\\3/5&0&-2/5\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%5E%7B-1%7D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%2F15%261%2F6%26-1%2F5%5C%5C1%2F3%26-1%2F6%260%5C%5C3%2F5%260%26-2%2F5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C)
now multiply the matrix with B
![X=A^{-1}B\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7/15&1/6&-1/5\\1/3&-1/6&0\\3/5&0&-2/5\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\2\\-4\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2.83\\1\\4\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=X%3DA%5E%7B-1%7DB%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%2F15%261%2F6%26-1%2F5%5C%5C1%2F3%26-1%2F6%260%5C%5C3%2F5%260%26-2%2F5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C2%5C%5C-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2.83%5C%5C1%5C%5C4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)

Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26
13
x
13
=
−
26
13
x
=
−

Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
