Answer 2

First, we Simplify both sides of the Equation to get:\[\left(\begin{matrix}1 \\ 10\end{matrix}\right) u = \left(\begin{matrix}3 \\ 11\end{matrix}\right)\]

Answer 3

Second, we divide both sides by 1/10:\[\left(\begin{matrix}1/10u \\ 1/10\end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix}3/11 \\ 1/10\end{matrix}\right)\]

Answer 4

Which equals:\[u = \left(\begin{matrix}30 \\ 11\end{matrix}\right)\]

Answer 5

and that's your answer ^

Answer 6

that's what I did and I though I did it wrong because it won't let me type in fractions, it says to round to the nearest tenth

Answer 7

\[\left(\begin{matrix}30 \\ 11\end{matrix}\right) = 2.727...\]

Answer 8

that's what I thought =/ she told me I worked the problem out wrong =p thank you!!!!
