Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x

(100-8.5)% of x = 33

91.5% of x = 33

$\frac{91.5}{100}x=33\\\\x=33*\frac{100}{91.5}\\\\x=36.07$

x= 36.1

What is the sum of the matrices shown below?

damaskus [11]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&9\\5&-2\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&0\\-8&4\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}9&9\\-3&2\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

To add matrices, we add the corresponding components.

The given matrices is

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&9\\5&-2\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&0\\-8&4\end{array}\right]$

We add the corresponding components to get;

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&9\\5&-2\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&0\\-8&4\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3+6&9+0\\5+-8&-2+4\end{array}\right]$

We simplify to get:

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&9\\5&-2\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}6&0\\-8&4\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}9&9\\-3&2\end{array}\right]$
