Simple....
you have: (3.2*103)+(5.78*105)
You want to simplify it..but first remember your order of operations...
1.) Remove the parentheses-->>
(3.2*103)=329.6
and
(5.78*105)=606.9
Which leaves you with...
329.6+606.9=
=936.5
Thus, your answer.
To get from −8 − 8 to the answer you really want, just take the absolute value! That is, to find the distance between<span> any </span>two<span> real numbers: subtract them in any order</span>
A- Veronica —> v=5+2m
Total —> v+m=32
B- since you already know that to get veronica’s number of stuffed animals, you need to use v=5+2m, you need to substitute it in the total equation. So it’ll be:
(5+2m)+m=32
(5+2m) represents veronica’s stuffed animals
m represents Mariposa’s stuffed animals
C- Mariposa —> 9
Veronica —> 23
Do you need for both or just one?
