The operation applied is division.
a simple explanation is that the quantity decreases if you move the decimal to the left, which is the case for division
A power of 10^-4 is involved (you get a negative sign if you shift the decimal to the left: which is another explanation to the above question)
<h2>
Answer: (5, 2)</h2>
<h2>
System of equations:</h2>
2x - y = 8
3x + y = 17
<h2>Solve for x:</h2>
2x - y = 8
3x + y = 17
________ +
5x = 25
x = 5
<h2>Plug in x to one of the equations to solve for Y</h2>
2(5) - y = 8
10 - y = 8
-y = -2
y = 2
0.6 is just what it seems like. 3/4 needs to be turned into a decimal for it to be compared with 0.6. 3/4 equates to 0.75, so we can see that 0.6 < 0.75.
Answer:
39 students in the drama club, 25 in the yearbook club.
Explanation:
X=number of students in the drama club
Y=number of students in the yearbook club
X+Y=64
X−14=y
Subtract the equations
X−X+Y+14=64−Y
Y+14=64−Y
Subtract 14, add Y
Y+Y+14−14=64−14−Y+Y
2Y=50
Divide by 2
Y=25
X+25=64
Subract 25
X=64−25
X=39
