3x − 2y + 2z = 2
5x − 8y − 4z = 1
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to eliminate one of the variables to solve the system. To do so, let's multiply the first equation by 8, the second equation by 4
The system becomes:
Add (1) and (2), subtract (3) from (2) to eliminate y
Then multiply the equation (5) by 4 to compare with(4)
Comparing the equations (4) and (5) we see it has no solutions as both variables have same coefficient but with different sum, 28≠40
Answer:
inconsistent; none
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Carson had x number of apples to start with.
He gave 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has (2/3)x apples left.
He gave 1/2 of what was left to Nikki. Now Carson has (1/2)(2/3)x = (2/6)x = (1/3)x apples.
On the way home, he dropped 1/4, so he has 3/4 of the last amount he had, and the number is 9.
(3/4) * (1/3)x = 9
3/12 x = 9
1/4 x = 9
x = 36
Answer: He picked 36 apples.
Check:
Start with 36 apples.
Give 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has 24 apples.
Give 1/2 to Nikki. Now Carson has 12 apples.
Drop 1/4. 1/4 of 12 is 3. 12 - 3 = 9.
Hew only had 9 apples left, so 36 is correct.
Answer:
36 apples
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1 = he dropped 1/4 and was left with 9
Finding 1/3 one third of 9 = 3.
Then 9 +3 = 12
Step 2 He parted with 1/2 and was left with 12
12x2=24
Step 3 He parted with 1/3 and was left with 24
= 12+ 12 + 12 = 36 Where 1/3 of 36 = 24
Answer = 36
action to horror is 6 : 7 : 3
How many of each type of DVD does he have?
Comedy
Action
Horror
Answer:
42 Comedy, 49 Action, 21 Horror
Step-by-step explanation:
6 comedy : 7 action : 3 horror = 16 parts or if you think of it as a fraction, 16 is the denominator and the numbers for each ratios are the numerators
112 (the total)/16 = 7 movies per part
6 parts of comedy = 6 x 7 = 42
7 parts action = 7 x 7 =49
3 parts horror = 3 x 7 = 21
Another way to think of it is:
(ex. comedy)
6/16=x/112
(CROSS MULTIPLY HERE)
16x=672
x=42
