<h3>Answer:</h3>

(5, -2, -3)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We assume your equations are ...

x +3y -z = 2
4x +2y +5z = 1
3x +0y +z = 12

These have solution (x, y, z) = (5, -2, -3).

_____

Trying the choices in the last equation eliminates the first and last. Trying the second choice in the first equation eliminates it, leaving the 3rd choice as the answer you're looking for.

We also know because we can ask a graphing calculator to solve the matrix equation (or row-reduce the augmented matrix).

<em>Comment on this problem</em>

The hardest part of this problem is figuring your intent. The equations are not well-separated, so we have a hard time telling what is a constant and what is a coefficient. It took a couple of guesses to sort it out. A little editing before posting would be helpful.

Jade farm has 9 chickens,each of which laid 3 eggs. Jases farm has 4 horses. ednas farm has chickens which laid a total of 23 eg

Tomtit [17]

The answer is that Jade's chickens laid more eggs. Since Jade's farm includes 9 chickens, which each laid 3 eggs, multiply 9 and 3 and you get 27. Edna's farm has chickens which, in total, laid 23 eggs, leading to Jade's chickens with 27 eggs to be more than the eggs laid by Edna's chickens. :)

Two boats leave port at noon. Boat 1 sails due east at 12 knots. Boat 2 sails due south at 8 knots. At 2 pm the wind diminishes

Ivan

Answer:

14.86 knots.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given that:</em>

The boats leave the port at noon.

Speed of boat 1 = 12 knots due east

Speed of boat 2 = 8 knots due south

At 2 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 9 knots:

At 3 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 + 9= 33 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16+8 = 24 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 8+7 = 15 knots

At 5 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 33 + 2 $\times$ 9= 51 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 24 + 2 $\times$ 15 = 54 units due south

Now, the situation of distance traveled can be seen by the attached right angled $\triangle AOB$ .

O is the port and A is the location of boat 1

B is the location of boat 2.

Using pythagorean theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 51^{2} + 54^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 2601+ 2916 = 5517\\\Rightarrow AB = 74.28\ units$

so, the total distance between the two boats is 74.28 units.

Change in distance per hour = $\dfrac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{74.28}{5} = 14.86\ knots$

bija089 [108]

Answer:

the answer is D) 5(30 - 5) + 40; 165 stars

Step-by-step explanation:

because you multiply the number of levels between Level 30 and Level 5 by 5 stars per level. Add the number of stars needed in Level 5.

5(30 - 5) + 40

5(25) + 40

165 stars

A newly drilled water well produces 50,000 quarts of water per week. With no new water feeding the well, the production drops by

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

water produced = 50,000 quarts of water per week

Production drop = 5% = 0.05 per year

Number of week in year = 52 week

Find:

Total amount of water

Computation:

Sum = a / r

a = 50,000 x 52

a = 2,600,000

Sum = a / [1-r]

Sum = 2,600,000 / 5%

Sum = 2,600,000 / 0.05

Total amount of water = 5,200,000
