Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

36/3 = 12

This means that 12 is one third of the flower pots.

Since she uses two thirds, just multiply the answer by 2.

12x2 = 24, so 2/3 is 24

Therefore, Mary plants daisies in 24 flower pots.

Hope this helps!

Answer: 64.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Arriving time is 6 hours

return time is 4 hours

The average speed of returning 81 mph

Distance traveled while returning

$\Rightarrow d=81\times 4=324\ miles$

the average speed of the entire trip is

$\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{2\times 324}{6+4}=\dfrac{648}{10}=64.8\ mph$

What is the determinant of the coefficient matrix of this system? <br> 4x-3y=-8 <br> 8x-3y=12

gladu [14]

The coefficient matrix is build with its rows representing each equation, and its columns representing each variable.

So, you may write the matrix as

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}\text{x-coefficient, 1st equation}&\text{y-coefficient, 1st equation}\\\text{x-coefficient, 2nd equation}&\text{y-coefficient, 2nd equation} \end{array}\right]$

which means

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-3\\8&-3\end{array}\right]$

The determinant is computed subtracting diagonals:

$\left | \left[ \begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]\right | = ad-bc$

So, we have

$\left | \left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-3\\8&-3\end{array}\right] \right | = 4(-3) - 8(-3) = -4(-3) = 12$
