Basically, simplifying variables is the same as regular equations (like 5-3=2 and 5x-3x=2x)

So 7x-x is the same as 7x-1x which equals 6x

And -3p+6p is the same thing as -3+6 but with a p. With this in mind, the answer is 3p

Hope this helps

What is 400,000 times 200 in scientific notation

aniked [119]

If you move the decimal point left until it is just to the right of the most-significant digit, the number of places you moved it is the power of ten that your new number is multiplied by.

$400,000=4\times 10^{5}\\200=2\times 10^{2}$

Then multiplication can proceed in the usual way, taking into account the rules of exponents.

$4\cdot 10^{5}\times 2\cdot 10^{2}=8\cdot 10^{(5+2)}\\\\=8\cdot 10^{7}$

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Part 1) $-1.25$ -------> $2.75/(-2.2)$

Part 2) $-4\frac{1}{3}$ --------> $(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Part 3) $\frac{2}{3}$ ------> $(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Part 4) $3$ ------> $(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$2.75/(-2.2)$

To calculate the division problem convert the decimal number to fraction number

$2.75=275/100\\ -2.2=-22/10$

$(275/100)/(-22/10)$

Remember that

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(275/100)/(-22/10)=(275/100)*(-10/22)=-(275*10)/(22*100)=-(275)/(220)$

Simplify

Divide by 22 both numerator and denominator

$-(275)/(220)=-125/100=-1.25$

Part 2) we have

$(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(-2\frac{3}{5})=-\frac{2*5+3}{5}=-\frac{13}{5}$

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})=(-\frac{13}{5})*(\frac{5}{3})=-\frac{13*5}{5*3}=-\frac{13}{3}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{13}{3}=-(\frac{12}{3}+\frac{1}{3})=-4\frac{1}{3}$

Part 3) we have

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})=(-\frac{10}{17})*(-\frac{17}{15})=\frac{10*17}{17*15}=\frac{10}{15}$

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$

Part 4) we have

$(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(2\frac{1}{4})=\frac{2*4+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})=(\frac{9}{4})*(\frac{4}{3})=\frac{9*4}{4*3}=\frac{9}{3}=3$

If −5e^x^2 y=x and y(−5)=0, find y′(−5) by implicit differentiation

xenn [34]

Differentiate:
-5×2(xe^x^2)y-5e^x^2dy/dx=1
-5e^x^2(2xy+y´)=1
When x=-5, y=0:
-5e²⁵y´=1, so y´(-5)=-eˉ²⁵/5

How does the answer to each multiplication problems answer to is a corresponding division problem

Llana [10]

Because they are math buddies say 2x2=4. You can divide 4÷2 and get your original factor (2)... Sorry if it's wrong I think that's what it means ,hope it helps!
