Could a question be like what I posted here and tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Young man, the book is called finite math. I think tech calls it algebra 2

i think about it at least once a week

But mostly because I’m working and going to school full time and I run out of time to do everything

Paige I did the same thing and throw in raising 3 kids. Keep moving forward you got this. All in all it took me 7 years to get my bachelor's degree but I did it.

I didn’t even eat lunch. I was out in the country doing redneck shite all day.

I poured some peanuts in a bottle of Coke. Only thing I’ve had since breakfast.

Yes. Simultaneous linear equations are used all the time in product pricing, economic theory, physics, probably many other places as well. Back when I was learning this Exxon had a gigantic system of linear equations they would update daily to figure out how much of each petroleum distillate to make in order to maximize profits.


Not only that, this is the basis for most multivariate statistical analysis. Much of the quantitative analysis in social, economic, health, etc. research is derived from this sort of system of equations. Typically, such research has too many cases to calculate this manually, although Cramer's rule provides a quicker way to make calculations. This type of research is typically done by computer, using programs like Stata, SAS, SPSS, among others, but they essentially work by manipulating matrices like this.
