Question 1

What is the value of x in 3x + 2y = 12 and x = 2?

Accepted Answer

y = 3

Answer

Substituting x=2: 3(2) + 2y = 12 → 6 + 2y = 12 → y = 3.

Question 2

A system of two linear equations has infinitely many solutions when:

Accepted Answer

The equations are identical multiples of each other

Answer

Infinitely many solutions occur when both equations represent the same line (one is a multiple of the other).

Question 3

What is the trace of matrix [[5, 2],[3, 4]]?

Accepted Answer

9

Answer

The trace is the sum of diagonal elements: 5 + 4 = 9.

Question 4

If matrix A has dimensions 3×2 and matrix B has dimensions 2×4, what are the dimensions of AB?

Accepted Answer

3×4

Answer

For matrix multiplication A (m×n) × B (n×p), the result is m×p = 3×4.

Question 5

Solve for x and y: 2x − y = 1 and x + 3y = 10.

Accepted Answer

x=1, y=3

Answer

From equation 1: y = 2x−1; substituting into equation 2: x + 3(2x−1) = 10 → 7x = 13 → x=13/7... checking answer B: x=1 → y=1 (fails eq 2: 1+3=4≠10). Correct: x=13/7, y=9/7. None of the listed answers match exactly; closest is C.
