Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.
The contrapositive of the logical statement
<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>
is
¬<em>q</em> ⇒ ¬<em>p</em>
In this case, the contrapositive claims that
"If there are no scalars <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> such that <em>c</em> = <em>α</em><em>a</em> + <em>β</em><em>b</em>, then <em>a₁b₂</em> - <em>a₂b₁</em> = 0."
The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

or in matrix form,

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED
14+x=84
x=70
The team lost 70 games.
84+70=x
154=x
The team played a total of 154 games.
Answer:
14.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a regular hexagon in terms of its side length s is ...
... A = (3√3)/2·s²
Then the side length is ...
... s = √(2A/(3√3))
and the perimeter is ...
... P = 6s = √(8A√3)
For your area, this is ...
... P = √(8·14.96·√3) ≈ √207.292 ≈ 14.4 . . . . cm
Answer: 4.3478 or 100/23
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the y values equal to each other since they are the same unknown (x). You end up with 100=23x, solve for x. Move the 23 over to the other side by using division. x=100/23. If you need it in decimal form, 100÷23=4.347826087
