rewrite the system of linear equations as a matrix equation ax = b.
x1 + 2x2 + 5x3 = 5
x1 + x2 + x3 = 6
4x1 + 6x2 + 5x3 = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer.

Because we have 3 equations and 3 variables (x1, x2, x3) a 3x3 matrix (A) can be constructed by using their respectively coefficients.

Equations:

Eq. 1 : x1 + 2x2 + 5x3 = 5

Eq. 2 : x1 + x2 + x3 = 6

E1. 3 : 4x1 + 6x2 + 5x3 = 7

Coefficients for x1 ; x2 ; x3

From eq. 1 : 1 ; 2 ; 5

From eq. 2 : 1 ; 1 ; 1

From eq. 3 : 4 ; 6 ; 5

So matrix A is:

And the vector of vriables (X) is:

Now we can find the resulting vector (B) using the 'resulting values' from each equation:

In conclusion, AX=B is:

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
