CHAPTER 1
EXERCISE SET 1.1
1.
Cost =(Variable Cost)+(Fixed Cost)=(Cost per item) × (number produced)+ (Fixed Cost)= 3x + 10, 000
3. Revenue=(Price per item)×(number of items sold)= 5x
5. Profit=(Revenue)−(Cost)=R−CIn view of Problems 1 and 3, we have,
P = 5x − (3x + 10000) = 2x − 10, 000
7. We have (x, p) = (10, 8) and(x, p) = (15, 6). The slope is6 − 8
15 − 10= −0.40. The demand equation
becomes
p − 8 = −0.40(x − 10)
= −0.4x + 6
p = −0.4x + 14
9. We have (x, p) = (100, 35) and(x, p) = (120, 30). The slope is30 − 35
120 − 100= −0.25. The demand equation
becomes
p − 35 = −0.25(x − 100)
= −0.25x + 25
p = −0.25x + 60
11. We have (x, p) = (50, 95) and(x, p) = (100, 175). The slope is175 − 95
100 − 50= 1.6. The supply equation
becomes
p − 95 = 1.6(x − 50)
= 1.6x − 80
p = 1.6x + 15
13. We have (x, p) = (10, 60) and
(x, p) = (14, 80). The slope is80 − 60
14 − 10= 5.
The supply equation becomes
p − 60 = 5(x − 10)
= 5x − 50
p = 5x + 10
15. We assume the linear depreciationequation to be V = mt + b, with t given inyears. Initially, when t = 0, the value is$130. The value decreases by $15 per year,so m = −15. The linear appreciationequation is then V = −15t + 135.
17. We assume the linear depreciationequation to be V = mt + b, with t given inyears. Initially, when t = 0, the value is$15,000. So, b = 15, 000. Six years later thecar is sold for $6000. So,6000 = V (6) = m(6) + 15, 000. Solving form gives m = −1500. The linearappreciation equation is thenV = −1500t + 15, 000.
19. Fixed costs are $150 and variable costsare $10. The cost equation is thenC = 10x + 150, where x is in units of hoursand C in dollars.
1
21. Fixed costs are $91,000 and variablecosts are $2. The cost equation is thenC = 2x + 91, 000, where x is in numbers ofshirts and C in dollars.
23.
C = mx + b
= mx + 1000
5000 = m(800) + 1000
m = 5
C = 5x + 1000
25. We have (x, p) = (50, 1.25) and(x, p) = (100, 1). The slope is then1 − 1.25
100 − 50= −0.005. The equation becomes
p − 1 = −0.005(x − 100)
= −0.005x + 0.5
p = −0.005x + 1.5
27. If x is number of items and R is indollars, we have
R = xp
7200 = 600p
p = 12
R = 12x
29. Let x be the number of items and letR, C, and P be in dollars. Since an itemsells for $10, we have R = 10x. Fixed costsare $2000, so C = mx + 2000. Then
P = R − C
= 10x − mx − 2000
= (10 − m)x − 2000
7000 = (10 − m)(1000) − 2000
= −1000m + 8000
m = 1
So, C = −x + 2000.
31. Let x be the number of items and letR, C, and P be in dollars. Since fixes costsar $1000 and it takes $3 to make each item,the cost equation is C = 3x + 1000. Then
P = R − C
= px − (3x + 1000)
= (p − 3)x − 1000
7000 = (p − 3)(1000) − 1000
p − 3 = 8
p = 11
So, R = 11x.
33. Let x be the number of packages andlet p be in dollars. The slope is−0.25
5= −0.05. Then the demand equation
is
p − 3.18 = −0.05(x − 27)
= −0.05x + 1.35
p = −0.05x + 4.53
35. Let x be the number of packages andlet p be in dollars. The slope is
m =1
20= 0.05. Then the supply equation
is
p − 2 = 0.05(x − 15)
= 0.05x − 0.75
p = −0.05x + 1.25
37. Let V = mt + b, where t is in yearsand V is in dollars. The new machine is$50,000, so b = 50, 000. To find m we have
V = mt + 50, 000
2
5000 = m(9) + 50, 000
m = −5000
V = −5000t + 50, 000
After one year the value in dollars isV (1) = −5000(1) + 50, 000 = 45, 000After five years the value in dollars isV (5) = −5000(5) + 50, 000 = 25, 000
39. The fixed cost are $674,000 and thevariable costs are $21.
41. Let x be the number of pairs offenders manufactured. Then the costsfunctions in dollars are as follows:Steel: C(x) = 260, 000 + 5.26xAluminum: C(x) = 385, 000 + 12.67xRMP: C(x) = 95, 000 + 13.19xNPN: C(x) = 95, 000 + 9.53x
43. Let x be in tons and R in dollars.Then R = 2274x.
45. The revenue function is R(x) = 40x.Set 40x = 100, 000 and obtain x = 2500.
45. The revenue function is R = 40x. Set40x = 100, 000 and obtain x = 2500.
47. We have R = px. Given the units, wemust have 105.6 = 150p. We can calculatep = 0.704. Thus, R = 0.0704x.
49. The total cost in dollars isC = 75 + 371 = 446. Profits, in dollars isP = R − C = 573 − 446 = 127.
51. Let x be the number of tons. Fixedcosts are $447,917 and variable costs are209.03x. Therefore, costs areC(x) = 209.03x + 447, 917. Revenue is$266.67 per ton, so we haveR(x) = 266.67x. Finally, profits are
P = R−C = 266.67x−(209.03x+447, 917) =57.64x − 447, 917.
53. We have (x, p) = (10, 99) and(x, p) = (20, 43). The slope is
m =43 − 99
20 − 10= −5.6. The ehr demand
equation is
p − 99 = −5.6(x − 10)
= −5.6x + 56
p = −5.6x + 155
55. (a) p ≈ 300, 000 (b) 0.1 yen per ton
57. The revenue function is R(x) = 2700x.Set 2700x = 31, 750 and obtain x ≈ 11.76.
59. Since no sales result in no revenue, wemust have R(0) = 0.
61. The area is the base times the height.But the height is the price and the base isthe number of items sold. Therefore, thearea of the rectangle is the price times thenumber sold, which is the revenue.
63. Here (x, c) = (0, 12) and (x, c) = (2, 0).
The slope is m =0 − 12
2 − 0= −6. The
equation then is
c − 0 = −c(x − 2)
c = −6x + 12
65. Let x be the number of cows, then thecost C(x) in dollars isC(x) = 13, 386 + 393x. The revenuefunction in dollars is R(x) = 470x. Theprofit function in dollars isP (x) = 77x − 13, 386. The profit for anaverage of 97 cows is P (97) = −5917, that
3
is a loss of $5917. For many such farms theproperty and buildings have already beenpaid off. Thus, the fixed costs for thesefarms are lower than stated in the table.
67. Let the cost revenue, and profits begivin in thousands of dollars. We haveC(x) = 3.84x + 300, 000R(x) = 4.8xP (x) = R(x) − C(x) = 0.96x − 300, 000If x = 200, 000, then
C(200, 000) = 3.84(200, 000) + 300, 000
= 1, 068, 000
R(200, 000) = 4.8(200, 000)
= 960, 000
P (200, 000) = 960, 000 − 1, 068, 000
= −108, 000
Thus, if 200,000 tons are produced andsold, the cost is 1,068,000 thousand dollarsor $1068 million. The revenue is $960million, and there is a loss of $108 million.Doing the same for some other values of x,we have the results shown in the table,given im millions of dollars.
Number 200,000 300,000 400,000
Cost 1068 1452 1836Revenue 960 1440 1920Profit -108 -12 84
We can see from the table, that for smallervalues of x, P (x) is negative; that is, theplant has losses. For larger values of x,P (x) turns positive and the plant has(positive) profits.

EXERCISE SET 1.2
1. The break-even quantity is the numberof items for which the revenue equals thecost. Setting revenue equal to costs gives
4x = 2x + 4
2x = 4
Thus x = 2 is the break-even quantity.
3. Setting revenue equal to cost gives
0.2x = (0.1x + 2)
0.1x = 2
Hence x = 20 is the break-even quantity.
5. The equilibrium point is the point atwhich supply equals to demand.
x + 3 = −x + 6
2x = 3
The equilibrium quantity is x = 1.5 and theequilibrium price is p = 1.5 + 3 = 4.5. Thus,the equilibrium point is (1.5, 4.5).
7. The equilibrium point is the pointwhere supply equals demand.
5x + 10 = −10x + 25
15x = 15
x = 1
The equilibrium price is thenp = 5(1) + 10 = 15. The equilibrium pointis then (1,15).9. We have
R(x) = 35x
C(x) = 15x + 40, 000
P = R − C
= 20x − 40, 000
Setting P = 0 or R = C gives 20x = 40, 000or x = 2000 as the break-even quantity.
11. Let d be the number of days. (a) Thecost to rental is CR = 320d, (b) while thecost to buy is CB = 28, 000 + 40d. SetCR = CB and obtain
320d = 28, 000 + 40d
280d = 28, 000
d = 100
Since we have 8 hours per day, 100 daysbecome 100(8) = 800 hours. Renting willcost less. Notice, this is true either bycalculating the cost of rental or buy or justnotice that the graph of the rental costfunction is below the graph of the buy costfuntion for days less than 100. (They-intercept is smaller.)
13. (a) We have CU = 5000x, (b) whileCW = 40, 000 + 1000x. (c) Setting thesetwo cost functions equal gives
5000x = 1000x + 40, 000
4000x = 40, 000
x = 10
or 10 years.
15. Let x be the miles. (a) The cost fromAcme is CA = 75 + 0.40x and the cost fromBell is CB = 105 + 0.25x.(b) First set the two cost function equaland obtain
75 + 0.40x = 105 + 0.25x
0.15x = 30
x = 200
At this milage, the two cost equations areequal. Acme will cost less. Notice, this is
1
true either by calculating the cost of Acmeor Bell or just notice that the graph of theAcme cost function is below the graph ofthe Bell cost funtion for hours less than 200.(The y-intercept is smaller.)
17. The cost of the outside supplier isCO = 0.75x and for 50,000 manuals the costis CO = 0.75(50, 000) = 37, 500 dollars.The cost for making them in-house isCI = 10, 000 + 0.50x and for 50,000manuals the cost isCO = 10, 0000 + 0.50(50, 000) = 35, 000dollars.So contracting in-house is cheaper.
19. Let x be the number of bunches and p
the price per bunch in dollars. The slope of
the supply equation is m =.25
2= 0.125.
The equation is
p − 2.50 = 0.125(x − 8)
p = 0.125x + 1.5
Setting this equal to the demand equationp = −0.1x + 6 yields
0.125x + 1.5 = −0.1x + 6
0.225x = 4.5
x = 20
The equilibrium quantity is 20 bunches andthe equilibrium price is −0.1(20) + 6 = 4dollars per bunch.
21. The total cost is 75 + 371 = 446dollars. The least price per hectare is the$446.
23. We have R = 266.67x andC = 235, 487 + 201.68x. Setting these equal
to each other, yields
266.67x = 206.68 + 235, 487
x ≈ 3925
25. We have R = 470x andC = 13, 386 + 393x. Setting these equal toeach other yields
470x = 13, 386 + 393x
x ≈ 174
27. We have
225 + 0.012x = 550 + 0.007x
0.005 = 225
x = 45, 000
We can either calculate the cost for each ornotice that the graph of the steel equationstarts out below the other. Since 5000 milesis less than the 45,000 found above, steel isthe lower cost.
29. We have
21 + 0.00085x = 23 + 0.00080x
0.00005 = 2
x = 40, 000
We can either calculate the cost for each ornotice that the graph of the steel equationstarts out below the other. Since 30,000miles is less than the 40,000 found above,steel is the lower cost.
31. Let x be the number of items producedper year.(a) The annual Cost in Houston isCH = 4, 000, 000 + 0.25xThe annual Cost in Boston is
2
CB = 4, 200, 000 + 0.22xWhen x = 10, 000, 000,
CH = 4, 000, 000 + 2.5(10, 000, 000)
= 6, 500, 000
CB = 4, 200, 000 + 2.2(10, 000, 000)
= 6, 400, 000
Therefore Boston has lower annual cost, notcounting initial investment.(c) Counting initial investment, the totalcost over five years is:
C̃H = 16, 000, 000 + 5(CH)
= 16, 000, 000 + 5(6, 500, 000)
= 48, 500, 000
C̃B = 20, 000, 000 + 5(CB)
= 20, 000, 000 + 5(6, 400, 000)
= 52, 000, 000
So Houston has the lower cost over the fiveyears if the initial investment is counted.
33 . We have
13.19 + 95, 000 = 12.67 + 385, 000
0.52x = 290, 000
x ≈ 557, 692
35 . We have
12.55 + 95, 000 = 5.26 + 260, 000
7.29x = 165, 000
x ≈ 22, 634
37. The total cost for a manual machine isCm = 1000 + 16t, where t is the processingtime.For an automatic machine the total cost is
Ca = 8000 +2n
100.
The total cost for a manual machine is
Cm = 1000 +16x
10, where x is the number of
items. For an automatic machine the total
cost is Ca = 8000 +2x
100.
Set the two costs equal to each other andobtain
1000 +16x
10= 8000 +
2x
100158x
100= 7000
x ≈ 4430

z = 2E2 : y + z − u = −2
y + (2) − (3) = −2y = −1

x = 1
The solution is (x, y, z, u) = (1,−1, 2, 3).
25. Let x be the number of quarters and y the number of dimes. Since there are 25 cins, wehave x + y = 25. The face value of quarters is $0.25x and that of dimes is $0.10y. Since thetotal face value is $3.25, we have 0.25x + 0.10y = 3.25. We then have
{
x + y = 250.25x + 0.10y = 3.25
Proceeding with Gauss elimination we must remove x from the second equation. We thenperform E2 − 0.25E1 → E2 and obtain
{
x + y = 25−0.15y = −3
We first divide the second row by −0.15,1
−0.15E1 → E1.
{
x + y = 25y = 20
We have y = 20. Back substituting gives
x + y = 25
x + (20) = 25
x = 5
So the solution is (x, y) = (5, 20). Thus, the person has 5 quarters and 20 dimes.

27. Let x be the number of nickels, y the number of dimes, and z the number of quarters.since the total number of coins is 36, we have x + y + z = 36. Since there are twice as manydimes as nickels, y = 2x. The face values of nickels, dimes, and quarters are $0.05x, $0.10y, and$0.25z, respectively. Since the total value of the money is $4, we have 0.05x + 0.10y + 0.25z.Thus,
E1 : x + y + z = 36E2 : 2x − y = 0E3 : 0.05x + 0.10y + 0.25z = 4
The augmented matrix is

E3 : 0 z = 6
This gives z = 6. Now backward substitute and obtain

y = 20E1 : x + y + z = 36
x + (20) + (6) = 36x = 10
The solution is (x, y, z) = (10, 20, 6). Thus, the person has 10 nickels, 20 dimes, and 6 quarters.

29. Let x be the number of type A documents processed and let y be the number of type B.The accountant spends 2x hours on type A documents and 4y on type B. Since the accountantspends 40 hours each week on these documents, 2x + 4y = 40. The attorney spends 3x hourson type A documents and y on type B. Since the attorney spends 36 hours each week on thesedocuments, 3x + y = 30. We have
{
2x + 4y = 403x + y = 30
We first divide the first row by 2,1
2E1 → E1. We then have
{
x + 2y = 203x + y = 30
We then have

x + 2(6) = 20
x = 8
So the solution is (x, y) = (8, 6). Thus, they can process 8 of type A documents and 6 of typeB each week.
31. Let x be the number of dollars deposited in the first bank and y the number of dollars inthe second. Since a total of $1000 was deposited in the two banks, we have x + y = 1000. Theinterest received from the first bank was 0.08x and from the second was 0.1y. Since the totalinterest was $86, we have 0.08x + 0.1y = 86. We have
{
x + y = 10000.08x + 0.1y = 86
Then

We have y = 300. Back substituting gives
x + y = 1000
x + (300) = 1000
x = 700
So the solution is (x, y) = (700, 300). Thus, the person deposits $700 in the first bank and $300in the second.
33. Let x be the number of style A sweaters produced and y the number of style B. Thecutting department spends 0.5x labor-hours on style A sweaters and 0.4y on style B. Since thisdepartment has 200 labor-hours each day, we have 0.5x + 0.4y = 200. The sewing departmentspends 0.6x labor-hours on style A sweaters and 0.3y on style B. Since this department has 186labor-hours each day, we have 0.6x + 0.3y = 186.
{
0.5x + 0.4y = 2000.6x + 0.03y = 186
We first divide the first row by 0.5 (or multiply by 2). We then have
{
x + 0.8y = 4000.6x + 0.3y = 186
Proceeding with Gauss elimination we have

We have y = 300. Back substituting gives

x + 0.8(300) = 400
x = 160
So the solution is (x, y) = (160, 300). Thus, 160 style A and 300 of style B can be producedeach day.
35. Let x be the number od style A documents processed, y the number of style B, and z thenumber of style C. The accountants spends 2x hours on tyle A documents, 4y on the type B,and 2z on tyle C. Since the accountant has 34 hours, we have 2x + 4y + 2z = 34. The attorneyspends 3x hours on tyle A documents, 2y on the type B, and 4z on tyle C. Since the attorney
12
has 35 hours, we have 3x + 2y + 4z = 35. Since the4 secretary needs 3 hours to type eachdocument and has 36 hours available, 3x + 3y + 3z = 36. Thus,
2x + 4y + 2z = 343x + 2y + 4z = 353x + 3y + 3z = 36

We then have y = 5. Back substituting we have
y − 0.25z = 4
(5) − 0.25z = 4
z = 4
x + 2y + z = 17
x + 2(5) + (4) = 17
x = 3
We have (x, y, z) = (3, 5, 4). Thus we can process 3 of type A, 5 of type B, and 4 of type C.
37. Let x be the number of shares of MathOne bought, y the number of shares of NewModulebought, and z the number of shares of JavaTime bought. The stocks cost $20, $60, and $20,respectively. She wants to invest $4200. So, we have 20x + 60y + 20z = 4200. The stocks paydividents of $1, $2, and $3, respectively. Jennifer wants $290 in dividends, so x+2y+3z = 290.Finally, she wants twice as much money in MathOne as in JavaTime. So, x = 2z. We mustsolve the system
x − 2z = 0x + 2y + 3z = 290
20x + 60y + 20z = 4200

y + 2.5(50) = 145
y = 20
x − 2z = 0
x − 2(50) = 0
x = 100
The solution is (x, y, z) = (100, 20, 50). She then buys 100 shares of MathOne, 20 shares ofNewModule, and 50 shares of JavaTime. This represents a dollar amount of 100(20) = 2000,20(60) = 1200, and 50(20) = 1000, respectively.
39. Let x be the number of units of wood, y the number of units of fabric, and z the numberof units of stuffing. Then we have the system

The solution is (x, y, z) = (11, 20, 1). So, they use 11 units of wood, 20 units of fabric, and 1unit of stuffing.

x = 5
The solution is (x, y, z) = (5, 2, 8). So, she has 5 units of iron, 2 units of calcium, and 8 unitsof folic acid
45. Let x be the number of oranges used, y the number of cups of strawberries, and z thenumber of cups of blackberries. The oranges contain x grams of fiber, the strawberries contain
16
2y grams, and the blackberries contain 6z grams. Since a total of 13 grams of fiber is needed,x + 2y + 6z = 13. The oranges contain 75x mg of vitamin C, the strawberries contain 60ymg, and the blackberries contain 30z mg. Since a total of 374 mg of vitamin is needed, 75x +60y + 30z = 375. The oranges contain 50x mg of phosphorus, the strawberries contain 50ymg, and the blackberries contain 40z mg. Since a total of 290 mg of phosphorus is needed,50x + 50y + 40z = 290.

49. Let x be the number of nickels, y the number of dimes, and z the number ofquarters. Since there are 36 coins, x + y + z = 36. Since the face value of the coins is $4,0.05x + 0.10y + 0.25z = 4. Thus, we wish to solve the system
x + y + z = 360.05x + 0.10y + 0.25z = 4
Using the augmented matrix we have

There are an infinite number of solutions. We set z = t, and have
y + 4z = 44
y + 4t = 44
y = 44 − 4t
x + y + z = 4
x + (44 − 4t) + t = 36
x = 3t − 8
The general solution is (3t − 8, 44 − 4t, t) where t is a parameter, but does have somerestrictions. First, since the number of quarters must certainly be a nonnegative intergerand z = t, t must be a nonnegative integer. We must have 0 ≤ x = 3t − 8 and0 ≤ y = 44 − 4t. The first inequality implies that t ≥ 8/3 and the second inequalityimplies that t ≤ 11. We conclude that the parameter t can be any natural number biggerthan 2 and less than 12.
51. Let x be the amount invested in bonds, y the amount invested in the low-risk stocks,and z the amount invested in the medium risk stocks. Since the client invests a total of$900,000 among the three groups, x+ y + z = 900, 000. The annual return from bonds is0.07x, from the low-risk stocks is 0.09y, and from the medium risk stocks is 0.11z. Sincethe total annual return is (0.9)(900, 000) = 81, 000, we have 0.07x + 0.09y + 0.11z =81, 000. Thus, we wish to solve the system
9
x + y + z = 900, 000
0.07x + 0.09y + 0.11z = 81, 000
Use the augmented matrix and obtain

We set z = t as the parameter. Then
y + 2z = 900, 000
y + 2(t) = 900, 000
y = 900, 000− 2t
x + y + z = 900, 000
x + (900, 000 − 2t) + (t) = 900, 000
x = t
The general solution is (t, 900000 − 2t, t). The only constraint on the parameter t is0 ≤ t ≤ 450, 000. Thus, the pension fund manager can allocate $t to bonds and the sameto the medium risk stocks, and 900, 000−2t to the low-risk stocks, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 450, 000.
1.4.53. Let x be the number of Tiderunner sandals sold, y the number of Sport sandals,and z the number of Harbor sandals. Since the store sold a total of 300 sandals, x+y+z =300. Since the sales of Sport is the sum of the other two, y = x+ z or x− y + z = 0. Thestore sold 30x worth of Tiderunners, 40x worth of Sports, and 50x worth of Harbors. Sincethe store sold $11,500 worth of these ssandals in that month, 30x + 40y + 50z + 11, 500.Thus, we wish to solve the system
x + y + z = 300
x − y + z = 0
30x + 40y + 50z = 11, 500
Use the augmented matrix and obtain

x + y + z = 300
x + 150 + 50 = 300
x = 100
So the unique solution is (100, 150, 50). Thus, the store sold 100 of Tiderunner sandals,150 of Sports, and 50 of Harbors.
55. Let x, y, z, and u be the number of units of X, Y , Z, and U , respectively, that ismanufactured each day. The firm needs 0.1x, 0.3y, 0.6z, and 0.2u units of the perishableingredient I to manufacture X, Y , Z, and U , respectively. Since the firm can produce 100units of I, we have 0.1x + 0.3y + 0.6z + 0.2u = 100. The firm needs 0.4x, 0.2y, 0.4z, and0.3u units of the perishable ingredient II to manufacture X, Y , Z, and U , respectively.Since the firm can produce 200 units of I, we have 0.4x+0.2y +0.4z +0.3u = 200. Sincean order for 500 units of U has been received, u = 500. Thus, after subsituting u = 500,we wish to solve the system
0.1x + 0.3y + 0.6z = 0
0.4x + 0.2y + 0.4u = 50

57 Let x be the number of type A documents to process, y the number of type B, and zthe number of type C. The accountant spends 2x hours on type A, 4y hours on type B,and 2z hours on type C. Since the accountant has 34 hours available, 2x + 4y + 2z = 34.The attorney spends 3x hours on type A, 2y hours on type B, and 4z hours on type C.Since the attorney has 35 hours available, 3x + 2y + 4z = 35. Thus, we wish to solve thesystem

There are an infinite number of solutions. We set z = t, and have
y − 0.25z = 4
y − 0.25(t) = 4
y = 0.25t + 4
x + 2y + z = 17
x + 2(0.25t + 4) + t = 17
x = 9 − 1.5t
The general solution is (9 − 1.5t, 0.25t + 4, t), where t is a parameter that we needto check the constraints. Since z must be a nonnegative interger and z = t, t must bea nonnegative integer. Since 0 ≤ x = 9 − 1.5t, t ≤ 6. Since y must be a nonnegativeinteger and y = 0.25t+4, then t must be a multiple of 4. We conclude that t can only be0 or 4. This means that there are exactly two solutions, (9, 4, 0) and (3, 5, 4). So, they

can process 9 of type A documents and 4 of type B, or process 3 of type A, 5 of type B,and 4 of type C.

65. Let x be the amount of money in the maney market fund, y the amount of moneyin a bond fund, z the amount in a conservative stock fund, and u the amount in aspeculative fund.

But the last equation gives 0 = 1000. Thus, there is no solution.
67. We know that our row operations will automatic place a zero or a one where wewant them. So we do not count these as a multiplication or a division.
We start with doing the problem by the suggested way.
