It is a function. This is because the x's don't repeat.
To simplify and solve this equation we must follow PEMDAS.
P=Parentheses
E=Exponents
M=Multiplication (from left to right)
D=Division (from left to right)
A=Addition
S=Substraction
We begin the process.
10^3=1000
10^7=10000000
New equation looks like this:
7.2*1000/1.8*10000000
We then multiply
7.2*1000= 7200
7200/1.8=4000
4000*10000000= 40000000000
<em>So our final answer is 40000000000.</em>
Hope this helps!
P.S. I forgot this was scientific notation and I solved it a different way. But both ways give the same answer. Let me know if you want the other method.
Answer:
Leg-Leg
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
Assume that the total passengers on the bus before 2:30 was x
<u>Now, at 2:30:</u>
15 passengers got off and 9 got on.
<u>This means that:</u>
number of passengers = x - 15 + 9
number of passengers = x -6
<u>10 minutes later:</u>
4 passengers got off the bus
<u>This means that:</u>
number of passengers = (x-6) - 4
number of passengers = x - 10
<u>By comparing, we can note that:</u>
The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop
Hope this helps :)
