Solving Matrices

To add or subtract matrices, which of the following must be true?

• They are the same matrix

• They have the same dimensions

• Rows in the 1st matrix must have the same # of terms as the columns as the 2nd matrix

• All matrices can be added

• A
• B
• C
• D

• A
• B
• C
• D

The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $38. The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets. Which equations represents the system that could be used? 

• 1s + 3c = 38
  2s + 3c = 52
• 3s + 1c = 38
  3s + 2c = 52
• s + c = 38
  s + c = 52
• 3s + 3c = 38
  1s + 2c = 52

If a system has infinite solutions, then it means:

• The lines or planes don't intersect.
• The lines or planes are parallel.
• The lines or planes intersect at a line.
• You get 0=some number when solving the system.
