A matrix question on the Gaussian elimination method?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Are you having trouble setting up the equations? They seem fairly straightforward. The first sentence gives us x + y + z = 110,000. Then .09x + .08y + .13z= 10,435, and finally x + y – 3z = 0. If you got this far, show the work you did for the solution, and I can check to see where you went wrong.

If somebody choose two digit and three digit numbers and their difference is 989.What will be their sum? a) 1000 b)1010 c) 1006?

Description : If somebody choose two digit and three digit numbers and their difference is 989.What will be their sum? a) 1000 b)1010 c) 1006?

Last Answer : None of the above. Let x be the three digit number and y be the two digit number. x - y =989. x = 989 + y. x is obviously greater than 989 and less than 1000 (since it is three digits). Since y is a two digit number ... 989 + 10 = 999. We can't go any higher, so x =999 and y=10. x+y = 999+10 = 1009
