Answer: c.

Explanation: The first thing you do when you subtract mixed numbers is convert them into improper fractions. 4 3/4 can be converted to 19/4 and 1 1/3 can be converted into 4/3. To be able to subtract or add fractions they need to have the same denominator a number in which both denominators can go into and that number is 12. 4 can equally go into 12 and so can 3. Now that you have found the common denominator (12) you have to find out what kind of operation you need to do in order for 4 to be 12 and for 3 to also be 12. And that is by multiplying. If you multiply 4 by 3 and get 12 and 3 by 4 to get 12 as well. Whatever you do to the bottom of the fraction you also do to the top so 19 x 3 / 4 x 3 = 57/12. Do the same to the other improper fraction: 4 x 4/ 3 x4 = 16/12. They both now have the same denominator but you have to subtract so,,57/12 - 16/12 = 41/12 you have the answer to the subtraction problem but you can probably tell that it isn’t any of the options on the question. Simplifying 41/12 will give you the mixed number 3 5/12.

Given that (1, 0, 1) is a solution to a system of three linear equations, which of the following is true about the system?

<h3>Answer: Choice C) </h3><h3>The system can only be independent and consistent</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

A) This isn't possible. Either a system is consistent or inconsistent. It cannot be both at the same time. The term "inconsistent" literally means "not consistent". It's like saying a cup is empty and full at the same time. We can rule out choice A.
B) This is similar to choice A and we cannot have a system be both independent and dependent. Either a system is independent or dependent, but not both. Independence means that the two equations are not tied together, while dependent equations are some multiple of each other. We can rule out choice B.
C) We'll get back to this later
D) The independence/dependence status is unknown without the actual equations present. However, we know 100% that this system is not inconsistent. This is because the system has at least one solution. Inconsistent systems do not have any solutions at all (eg: parallel lines that never cross). We can rule out choice D because of this.

Going back to choice C, again we don't have enough info to determine if the system is independent or dependent, but we at least know it's consistent. Consistent systems have one or more solutions. So part of choice C can be confirmed. It being the only thing left means that it has to be the final answer.

If it were me as the teacher, I'd cross out the "independent" part of choice C and simply say the system is consistent.
