7. anonymous

i am not able to open the file

8. anonymous

$33. Find the values of x and y for which \left[\begin{matrix} 2y+5 \\ y-2 \end{matrix}\right] =\left[\begin{matrix} x-1 \\ 3x\end{matrix}\right] is true.$

33. Find the values of x and y for which if you couldn't read that sorry

12. anonymous

$6x -4y=12$ $y=\frac{3}{2}x-3$ $m_{N}=-\frac{2}{3}$ $m_{N}=-\frac{2}{k}$ Therefore k=3

13. anonymous

Oops you don't need 32. Nvm.

14. anonymous

I apologize :/ can you help with the others??

15. anonymous

$x-2y=6[1]$ $3x-y=-2[2]$ $[1]\times 3$ $3(x-2y)=3(6)$ $3x-6y=18[3]$ $[2]-[3]$ $(3x-y)-(3x-6y)=(-2)-(18)$ $5y=-20$ $y=-4$ Substitute the y-value (ie. -4) into any of the three equations above (ie. [1], [2], [3]) to find the x-value.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 34??

17. anonymous

I don't get the format of 34. That's a question foreign to me. What topic is that question from?

18. anonymous

Is that absolute values?

19. anonymous

i would assume its find the determinant of course i could be wrong

20. anonymous

its to solve the matrix

21. anonymous

you cant "solve" a matrix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

22. anonymous

I apologize!! it is to find the determinant

23. anonymous

You don't need anyone's help with that. Just read the wiki page. It shows you what to add and subtract.
