- 3X+3Y/5=`12/5
Y=-4-5X
SOLUTION
Substituting the value of y in the 2nd equation onto the first equation
3x+3/5(-4-5x) =12/5
3x-3x=12/5-12/5
Hence the linear equation has no solution
2.-2r+4s-5t=-16
5r+5s+4t=-7
-5r-3s+t
Eliminating r by multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 2 you get
10r+20s-25=-80
10r+10s+8t=-14
30s-17t=-94
2s+5t=6
Eliminating s
-60s-28t=-188
60s+150t=180
t=2.067
s=-2.1685
r=-5.222
3.Using cramer’s rule D=(30 6
2 -6)
Da=(-5 6
-11 -6)
The determinant = a= -5.-6- -11.6=96
Db=(30 -5
2 -11) the determinant=30.-11- 2.-5=b= -320
- determinant=-2.2- -2.5=6
- determinant= -1.-5- 8.1=-3
- solution= 5xdet(-7 -4 – 7xdet(-1 -4 + 1xdet(-1 -7
-6 1 -6 1)
1 1)
=-5(-3)- 7(-25)-43=-233
- -6b-12-13=-2b-12+15
-4b=28
b=-7
- 1/v2 +1/v=7/v2
Factorise 1/v out it will cancel out with the one on the right hand side of the equation
1/v(1/v -7/v)=-1(1/v)
1/v – 7/v=-1
V=6
- dividing by the LCM = n2-12n = 8n-48/n2-12n
cross multiplying: (n+1) (n2 -12n)= (8n-48) (n2 -12n)
n2-12 n will cancel out
so n=7
- 4p+12s=176
14p+6s=184
Eliminating by multiplying equation 1 by 14 and the 2nd by 4
56p+168s=2464
56p=24s=736
S= price of each strawberry=$12
P=price of each peacan=8
- mark=3n+1s=64
Ryan=1n+2s=53
Eliminating by multiplying 2nd equation by 3
3n+1s=64
3n+6s=159
S=price of eeach strawberry=$19
P=price of each new York =$15
- 15x/1oo + 7y/100=6000
x+y =50000
multiplying 2nd equation by 15 to eliminate x
0.15x+ 0.07y=6000
0.15x+0.15y=7500
y=money in govt- insured bonds= $18750
x=money in non-insured bonds=$31250
14.
a)Cost function= 400x =500000
- b) Revenue function=600x= (500000+200x)
- c) break even point
15 .3x=2800-17y
3x+7(444) = 3800
X=23 tickets
- TRUE-e.g multiply equation x+y=8 by 2
The solution will change from 8 to 16
- FALSE- elimination is a method that employs the method of eliminating the leading variable of the first equation from each latter equation but not by replacing the later equation by the sum of itself
- TRUE- A system of equations of two variables may or may not have solutions
- TRUE- The marginal cost is a variable m of a linear cost equation
- TRUE – An inconsistence system is a system of linear equations consisting of equations with no solution.
