Question 64070: A company manufactures three types of wooden chairs; the Kitui, the Goa, and the Santa Fe. To make a Kitui chair requires one hour of cutting time, 1.5 hours of assembly time, and one hour of finishing time. A Goa chair requires 1.5 hours of cutting time, 2.5 hours for assembly, and 2 hours for finishing.
The Santa Fe requires 1.5 hours of cutting, 3 hours of assembly, and 3 hours of finishing.If 41 hours of cutting time, 70 hours of assembly, and 58 hours of finishing time were used one week, how many of each type of chair were produced?

Question 64626: I have tried for 2 days to solve this one! I have the answers, and they do solve the equations, so they are correct. However, I am unable to produce the answers using matrix transformations. Any step-by-step help would be appreciated.
-2r + 6s -3t + 3v = -5
4r - 3s + 2t -v = -3
-3r - 4s - 3t + 4v = -15
5r + 2s - 2t + 3v = -20
The solution is r,s,t,v = -2,1,3,-2 respectively.

Question 65225: I need super fast help!
Use Gaussian elimination to solve the system:
x-3z=-2
3x+y-2z=5
2x + 2y + z=4
After working through it, the numbers dont seem to fit. I have no idea what im doing wrong. I came up with 1 0 -3 -2
0 1 -5.5 -1
0 0 1 3.5
but when I plug the numbers in, they dont fit the equation. I dont know at what step I went wrong and my work is due tomorrow! Please help!

Question 65472: This is a word problem question that has to be solved using cramers rule
At a college basketball game, student tickets cost 12 dollars each, adult tickets cost 16 dollars each and childrens tickets cost 7 dollars each. Four times as many adult tickets as children tickets were sold, the total number of childrens tickets and adult tickets was half the number of student tickets. The total number of tickets sales was 33,043 dollars. How many of each type of ticket was sold?

Question 66250: Solve the linear system using the given
inverse of the coefficent matrix.
w + 6x + 3y - 3z = 2
2w + 7x + y + 2z = 5
w + 5x + 3y - 3z = 3
- 6x - 2y + 3z = 6
A-1 = 
Do I plug in the number from the inverse coefficent matrix
into the linear system, and then possibly use Cramer's Rule?

Question 69829: Can u please check & tell me if my answer is wrong or not?
Given: C= (matrix(2,2,-3,4,2,5))
B= (matrix(3,2,3,-6,5,7,-4,6))
Question: 3CB
What i've tried: 3(matrix(2,2,-3,4,2,5))* (matrix(3,2,3,-6,5,7,-4,6))
consider them as 4 vertically aligned matrix symbols:
= 3[-3 4]*[3 -6 5]
[2 5] [7 -4 6]
= 3[ (-3*3+4*7) (-3*-6+4*-4) (-3*5+4*6) ]
[ (2*3+5*7) (2*-6+5*-4) (2*5+5*6) ]
= 3 [ (-9+28) (18-16) (-15+24) ]
[ (6+35) (-12-20) (10+30) ]
= 3 [19 2 8]
[41 -32 40]
= [ 3*19 3*2 3*8 ]
[ 3*41 3*-32 3*40]
= [57 6 24]
[123 -96 120]
Final result- (matrix(3,2,57,6,24,123,-96,120))

Question 70442: Hello. I have just started a new math class, and the teacher is very hard to understand. When someone asks him a question, he thinks they are making fun of his accent. I am trying to a few things out but cannot. He gives us sample problems and does not even go out of a book. The problem directions are Find
A-1 and check your answer. The problem is
A= (1 -2 3)
(-1 0 2)
(4 1 5)
Could someone show me the formula for this problem, and perhaps lead me through it? I am lost and do not want to drop this class. Thanks in advance.

Question 73109: I don't know if I am on the right track or not , and I am not sure how to finish.
2 [1 -9] [0 -2 -8] - [1 10 6]
[4 3] [4 7 5] - [5 -2 0] The brackets are to go around both rows
(It is 2 times a 2by2 times a 2by3 subtract a 2by3
I have
2[-36 -65 -53] - [1 10 6]
[ 12 13 -17] - [5 -2 0] I am not sure how to do the rest, do I multiply 2 by each # in the first 2x3? Please help.

Question 73110: Hi! I am having trouble with writing determinants and understanding Cramer's Rule. Please help me! This is one of my practice questions. There are a few like this so I am hoping if you show me how to do this one, I will be able to do the rest of them myself. Thanks!
Cramer's Rule is used to solve the system of equations:
3x-y+2z=17, 4x+2y-3z=10, and 2x+5y-9z=-6.
Write a determinant to represent the numerator for z.

Question 73188: Help! I don't know if I'm doing this right.
Use the matrix method.
x+y-z = -9
2x-y-2z=-3
x+2y+3z=14
I'm confused I seen one way adding R1+R3 to start and another saying interchange row 1 and 3????? This is what I have done:
R1 1 1 -1 | -9
R2 2 -1 -2 | -3
R3 1 2 3 | 14
R1 1 2 3 | 14
R2 2 -1 -2 | -3
R3 1 1 -1 | -9
R1 1 2 3 | 14
R2 0 -5 -8 |-31
R3 1 1 -1 | -9
R1 1 2 3 | 14
R2 0 -5 -8 |-31
R3 0 -1 -4 |-23
R1 1 2 3 | 14
R2 0 1 8/5 | 31/5
R3 0 -1 -4 |-23
??????????????????????????????????

Question 73203: What is the product of this matrix equation using inverse matrices?
[3 -4 x [a = [6
2 1] x b] = 7]
(That is supposed to be a 2x2, a 1x1, and another 1x1. I put the equal and multiplication signs on both top and bottom to make the matrices look a little more aligned.)
Thank you!

Question 80447: You have to solve the equations using matrices. I can get part of the answer correct but not the whole answer. I can solve for y, but what I come up with for x is not correct according to the book. The two equations are:
12x + 2y = 2 and 6x - 3y = -11
I can come up with 3 for y but I end up with -11/6 for x and the book says it should be -1/3. I can't figure out how to get the -1/3.
