add means add i can't write it here, but it is clear right? add one to the other

satellite73:

\[ M= \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 31 & 24 &42 \\ 64 & 17& 35 \\ \end{array} } \right] \]

satellite73:

figured out how to write it! check my arihmetic

satellite73:

is it right?

satellite73:

looks reasonable

satellite73:

\[a_{12}=17\] it is the total number of medium zipper sweaters

satellite73:

if you add all the elements of row two, you get the total number of sweaters with zippers

satellite73:

the store has 77 large sweaters, that is what you get when you add up column 2

rootbeer003:

keep goen

satellite73:

that is all

satellite73:

oh except for the last one, which you get by subtracting instead of adding i will let you do that for yourself i added, you can subtract

satellite73:

all good except the last one you subtracted girls from boys, it should be boys from girls just change the sign of each entry

ok good

satellite73:

do you know how to multiply two matrices?

rootbeer003:

no

satellite73:

i was afraid of that it is not that hard in this case you will get only a one by four matrix see if you can see this http://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=7edcfb2d8f6a659ef4cd1e6c9b6d7079

second one is the answer

rootbeer003:

hey it wont let me see pictures, lets go on peeranswers

satellite73:

i'll just write it

rootbeer003:

ok

satellite73:

\[[560,1116,1388,1096]\]

satellite73:

b you get by subtracting \[1388-1116=272\]

satellite73:

you want to know where those numbers come from?

rootbeer003:

yes i need steps

satellite73:

to multiply you have a one by two matrix times 2 by four matrix the result will be one by four

satellite73:

you need four numbers in other words for the first entry it will be \[22\times 5+18\times 25=560\]

satellite73:

second entry \[22\times 18+18\times 40=1116\]

satellite73:

third entry \[22\times 32+18\times 38=1388\]

satellite73:

fourth entry \[22\times 40+18\times 12=1096\]

rootbeer003:

any more steps?

satellite73:

no that is it write those numbers in a row like i did above

damn really? you have to use cramers rule and show your work so you can't cheat?

rootbeer003:

whats is cramers rule

satellite73:

you need to solve for x and y you are going to need the determinate of the matrix taken from the coefficents, \[

satellite73:

\[\left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 4 & 3 \\ -3 & -1 \\ \end{array} } \right]\]

satellite73:

that determinant is \[4\times (-1)+3\times (-3)=-13\]

satellite73:

that number will be your denominator to find x, replace the x values on the matrix by the number on the right and find the determinate of the matrix

satellite73:

\[\left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 4 & 3 \\ 7 & -1 \\ \end{array} } \right]\]

satellite73:

that determinate is \[4\times (-1)+3\times 7=17\] that makes \[x=\frac{17}{-13}\]

satellite73:

let me check that this is right

satellite73:

nope i screwed up somewhere have to start again

rootbeer003:

the whole thing

satellite73:

give me a minute

satellite73:

yeah it would help if i did it right, so lets start again with this matrix

satellite73:

\[\left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 4 & 3 \\ -3 & -1 \\ \end{array} } \right]\]

satellite73:

the determinate is

satellite73:

\[4\times (-1)-3\times (-3)=5\]

satellite73:

then this one \[\left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 4 & 3 \\ 7 & -1 \\ \end{array} } \right]\]

satellite73:

the deterinant is \[

satellite73:

\[4\times (-1)-3\times 7=-25 \]

satellite73:

so \[x=\frac{-25}{5}=-5\]

satellite73:

now we can use cramers rule to solve for y, but it is not necessary since \[4x+3y=4\]and we know \[x=-5\] we can solve \[5(-5)+3y=7\\ -20+3y=4\\ 3y=24\\ y=8\]

good enuf for me if you want a clear easy explanation of cramers rule look here http://www.coolmath.com/algebra/14-determinants-cramers-rule/01-determinants-cramers-rule-2x2-02

satellite73:

oh btw the answer is \((-5,8)\) or \[x=-5,y=8\]

rootbeer003:

do i put that

satellite73:

at the end maybe

satellite73:

btw you did not find y using cramers rule, just x so maybe they will be annoyed, i don't know

rootbeer003:

o well

rootbeer003:

new thread..
