Hello! what I like to do is multiply by 10s and subtract the difference, so one thing you could do is 10x256-(3x256)! your final answer will be 1792, hope this helped! ;)
to average 60 mph for 2 laps his total speed needs to equal 60 x 2 = 120
his first lap was 40 so his 2nd lap needs to be 120-40 = 80 mph
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
If x=1 and y=5 we get as 4product of 1+5=9
=4+5=9
9=9
lhs=rhs
