Answer:
x = 53
y = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(I):-
Given equations are
x -2y =-7 ...(I)
5x-9y =-5 ..(ii)
The matrix form AX = B
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2\\ 5 & -9\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-7\\-5\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%26-2%5C%5C%205%20%20%26%20-9%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-7%5C%5C-5%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The determinant

By using Cramer's Rule
Δ₁ =
The determinant is Δ₁ = -9 X -7 - (10 ) = 53
x = Δ₁ / Δ
x = 53
The determinant
Δ₂ =
Δ₂ = -5 +35
y = Δ₂/Δ = 30
ANSWER: 60 female lions
In the ratio there are 21 male lions and 20 female lions, in total 41 lions. Create a proportion relating the total number of lions in the ratio (41) and in the problem (123), and the number of female lions in the ratio (20) and in the problem (unknown).
20/41 = x/123
Cross multiply and solve
20(123)=41x
2460=41x
60=x
Add 12 to both sides to get
5m= 50
divide by 5 to get
M=10
The ratio equal to 7/8 is 14/16
$16.94 because 9.05 added to 7.89 = that. sorry if this didn't help
