Review the following information about vectors q and r. What is the value of a?
q=(-4,1)
31
r = (a, 3)
7(q + r) = (-35, 28)
-5

Work Shown:

q = (-4, 1) is one vector

r = (a,3) is another vector

The resultant vector is

q+r = (-4,1)+(a,3)

q+r = (-4+a,1+3)

q+r = (-4+a,4)

Multiply both sides by 7

7(q+r) = 7*(-4+a,4)

7(q+r) = (7*(-4+a),7*4)

7(q+r) = (-28+7a, 28)

Since 7(q+r) = (-35, 28), we know that,

(-28+7a, 28) =  (-35, 28)

which leads to

-28 + 7a = -35

when we equate the x components of each vector. Let's solve for 'a'

-28 + 7a = -35

7a = -35+28

7a = -7

a = -7/7

a = -1

Check:

q = (-4,1)

r = (a,3) = (-1,3)

q+r = (-4,1)+(-1,3)

q+r = (-4+(-1), 1+3)

q+r = (-5, 4)

7*(q+r) = 7*(-5, 4)

7*(q+r) = (7*(-5), 7*4)

7*(q+r) = (-35, 28)

The answer is confirmed.

it would be 6xy and -16xy.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
