Answer:

-5.6, -5.3, -5.1, -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the first fraction to a decimal.

-5 1/3 is equal to -5.3333333333

Round to the nearest tenth.

-5.3333333333 rounded to the nearest tenth is -5.3.

-5 1/3 = -5.3.

Convert the second fraction to a decimal.

-5 3/5 is equal to -5.6.

The fraction is already rounded, so that's all for the second one.

-5 3/5 = -5.6.

The new set of numbers we have include -5.1, -5.3, -5, and -5.6.

We can now sort from least to greatest.

The first number is -5.6.

The second number is -5.3.

The third number is -5.1.

The fourth number is -5.

Listing the numbers -5.1, -5.3, -5, and -5.6 from least to greatest would result in -5.6, -5.3, -5.1, and finally -5.

Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36. With how many did she begin?

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36$

40 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the Jill comic books.

Given:

Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36.

$\frac{1}{2}\ (Jill\ books) + 16\ more\ books = 36$

$\frac{1}{2}\ (x) + 16 = 36$

$\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36$

Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.

$\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36$ --------(1)

Now we solve above equation for x.

Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.

$\frac{1}{2}x + 16 -16 = 36 -16$

$\frac{1}{2}x = 20$

Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.

$2\times \frac{1}{2}x =2\times 20$

$x = 40$

Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.

What is the solution of the system? Use substitution. y = 6x + 2 3y - 18x = 12

kicyunya [14]

3(6x+2)-18x=12 (y=6x+2, so you plug in 6x+2 into the y in 3y-18x=12)
18x+6-18x=12 (Then you distribute the 3 to the 6x and to the 2)
6=12 (Combine like terms 18x-18x)

There is no solution. Hope this helps and makes sense.

Arrange the expressions in increasing order of their values.

Answer:

The 4th one is the least so you would put that as the first one, then the 2nd one, then the 1st one, then the 3rd one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fourth one is first because 10 to the power of 0 is 0 times 10 to the power of 1 is still 0 minus 1 to the power of 10 is 1 so 0 minus 1 is -1. The second one is second because 10 to the power of 0 times 10 to the power of 1 is 0, times 1 to the power of 10 is still 0. The first one is third in line because 10 to the power of 0 plus 10 to the power of 1 is 10 times 1 to the power of 10 is 10. The third one is last because its the greatist, 10 to the power of 0 plus 10 to the power of 1 is 10 plus 1 to the power of 10 is 11.
