#12 :
14*8*5 + -13*-1*-10 + 0*3*-2 - 0*8*-10 - -13*3*5 - 14*-1*-2
560 + -130 + 0 - 0 - -195 - 28
597 (Answer C)

#13:
-18*1 - 3*4
-18 - 12
-30 (Answer B)

#12

K = A(E*I-F*H) - B(F*G-D*I)

A(E*I-F*H) = 14(8*5 - (-1*-2))

-B(F*G-D*I) = -(-13)(-1*10 - (3*5))

Add to get 597

#13

-18*1 - (3*4) = -30.



As long as we're on matrices, how about we do something closer to the realm of differential equations?

10.) Unsolvable due to variations in rates of interest, premiums, coverage amounts and other details. I mean, seriously, you're asking about how much to pay for car insurance. The only way I see this question having an answer is if you're asking how much every car owner should pay to cover the theft of one car. If that is what you're asking, C

OoooOps...
Looks like i missed this round.... damn... :(
Think i just forgot.... oh well...

Maybe I should start copying your answers since he keeps asking you to do the checks.

Well, I don't know. He didn't give any points for the previous round yet...
