jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

A+B = C B = C - A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to find B, you need to subtract C-A which means you subtract x-y where x is a number in matrix C and y is a corresponding number in matrix A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example 5-3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you have it backwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5+3 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

C comes first, then A so 3 - 5 = -2 and this is row 1, column 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh that way.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So my answer would be [-2 3 -1] -4 8 -5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

your signs are off for every term but one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it *should* be this -2 -3 1 4 -8 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you subtract in the wrong order, then the sign will be off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah thats what i have. I didnt put that ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no you had the opposite signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha man

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

D+E = 0 E = 0 - D E = -D E = -1*D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you just multiply everything in D by -1 to get the matrix E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the 5 in the upper left corner will turn into -1*5 = -5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do the same for every number in matrix D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i put 2 rows at the end or just 1 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you see matrix D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yes so just add or multiply

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

multiply every number in matrix D by -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5*-1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My answer ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

got the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4x - x = 12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

0 - (3y+6) = 4y+8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Huh ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4x - x = 12 x = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its x=4 and y=-2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this will be the last one, i don't wanna do all of them ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i multiply ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its 1:51am here i need to finish this.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah you multiply everything in matrix A by 6 multiply everything in matrix B by 5 then you subtract

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one sec though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't get it but okay.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we have this \[\large 6\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3 & 7 & 1 \\9 & 8 & -5 \\ \end{array}\right] - 5\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4 & 3 & -9 \\3 & 7 & 6 \\ \end{array}\right]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-38

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

multiply EVERY element in the first matrix by 6 and multiply EVERY element in the second matrix by 5 this will give you \[\large \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6(-3) & 6*7 & 6*1 \\6*9 & 6*8 & 6(-5) \\ \end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5(-4) & 5*3 & 5(-9) \\5*3 & 5*7 & 5*6 \\ \end{array}\right]\] which turns into \[\large \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-18 & 42 & 6 \\54 & 48 & -30 \\ \end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-20 & 15 & -45 \\15 & 35 & 30 \\ \end{array}\right]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-18--20=-38 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

-18 - (-20) = -18 + 20 = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got my answer.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok great

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that it? Or can we keep going so i can finish tonight wel this morning since its 2am

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well the rest should hopefully be similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok then try to use the ideas shown above to get the rest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It gets harder & harder.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well do what you can first, then come back to the ones you're stuck on

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and maybe you'll know how to do them when you come back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Were almost done. I guess thats the good news. You've been a big help lol & thats why i do my work late bc your online.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how much is left

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and again i don't want to do it all, you should try a few yourself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I lied its 17 left

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm not saying you're lazy or anything, it just helps to participate and do the problems (it helps you learn it much better)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's a lot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is actually. Am im just tired & want to get this done honestly.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why not break them up over a few days or something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can't do that. Its a practice due today

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

assessment *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah thats why im up or ill be sleep.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ideally this is something you should do on your own because it wants to assess where you are in the class (without any notes, help, etc)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

College prep. I only go to that class once a week

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Math is my worst subject. Always has been since 6th grade

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

really? that's very infrequent...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well practice practice practice, that's how anyone gets better at anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They start you off with the "easy" stuff they say then overall it gets harder & harder,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Man i just need to finish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you can't help me threw it all thanks anyways. You've been a big help !

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I can help with a few (even though I probably shouldn't), but again, don't want to do them all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your awesome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

just make sure you get more practice in, the more you practice, the better you'll get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh i will when i go back to my class as of right now . i need the help.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how would you isolate X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

subtract what from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -13 to start off with correct ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in the upper left corner, yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

after you do all the subtractions, tell me what you get
