The solution to the system of equations is x = 8, y = 4.

<h3>How to write the system of equations?</h3>

First, let's define our variables as x and y.

"the sum of two numbers is twelve" is written as:

x + y = 12

"two times the first number minus three times the second number is four" is written as:

2x - 3y = 4

Then the system of equations is:

x + y  = 12

2x - 3y = 4

<h3>How to solve it?</h3>

First, we isolate one of the variables in one equation, I will isolate x on the first one to get:

x = 12 - y

Now we replace this on the other equation, so we get:

2*(12 - y) - 3y = 4

Now we can solve this for y.

24 - 2y - 3y = 4

24 - 5y = 4

24 - 4 = 5y

20/5 = y = 4

Now we know the value of y, and:

x = 12 - y = 12 - 4 = 8

Then the solution of the system is:

x = 8, y = 4.

What is 16,700,000,000,000,000 estimated as the product of a single digit and a power of 10?
alexdok [17]
16,700,000,000,000,000 = 1.67 x 10^16

start at the last 0....count the number of spaces till u can get a decimal right after the first digit....thats 16 spaces. Now take ur numbers that are not 0...1.67....and multiply it by 10^16...because of the 16 spaces. I hope I am making some kind of sense...I am better at doing then explaining how to do...lol
