Answer:
first y then x because y represents 22 and x represents 4 a week.
Answer:
a)3
b) 9
c) -3
Step-by-step explanation:
a) If B is obtained by adding a multiple of a row of A to another row of A, 
Then,
.
b) If B is obtained by multiplying a row of A by k, then
. Then 
c) If B is obtained by exchanging two rows (columns) of A, then
. Then 
The score of 96 is 2 standard deviations above the mean score. Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, the probability of a score above 96 is 0.0235.
Therefore the number of students scoring above 96 is given by:
Let the first integer be x. Then the next consecutive integer is x+1.
Translating the word problem into symbols, x(x+1)-20(x+1) = 442.
Then x^2 + x - 20x - 20 = 442
or x^2 - 19x - 462 = 0
Solve by completing the square:
x^2 - 19x + 90.25 - 90.25 - 462 = 0
(x-9.5)^2 - 552.25 = 0
Taking the positive square root of both sides, we get x-9.5 = 23.5, or
x = 33
The two consecutive integers are 33 and 34.
Check: (33)(34)-20(34) = 442 (as expected).
