Pre-Algebra

To solve for x in the equation 2x + 5 = 13, subtract 5 from both sides, then divide both sides by 2 to get x = 4.

Question

Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 13

The eigenvalues of the matrix [[3, 1], [1, 3]] are 4 and 2.

The eigenvalues of the matrix [[0, 1], [-1, 0]] are i and -i.

The eigenvalues of the given 3x3 matrix are 1, 2, and 2.

The determinant of the given 4x4 matrix is calculated using cofactor expansion along the fourth row, resulting in a determinant of -21.

The determinant of the 2x2 matrix [[2, 2], [3, 5]] is calculated as (2 * 5) - (2 * 3) = 4.

The determinant of the 3x3 matrix is calculated using the formula a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg), resulting in a determinant of 0.
