N= 13*c+8
n=15*c
15c=13c+8
15c-13c=8
2c=8
c=8:2
c=4 children
n= 15*4=60 notebooks

The number of children is 4 and the number of notebooks is 60.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Lets assume, Mama has x number of children and y number of notebooks.

If she give 13 notebooks to each of her children, then 8 books are left. So, y= 13x +8 ..................................(1)

And If she give 15 notebooks to each of her children, she will have nothing left. That means y= 15x .....................(2)

Now solving the system of equations, we will get ....

13x+8 = 15x \\ \\ 13x-15x = -8 \\ \\ -2x = -8\\ \\ x= \frac{-8}{-2}=  4

Now, y= 15x = 15(4)= 60

So, the number of children is 4 and the number of notebooks is 60.

5.8×10^−10 ​? <br><br> Solve please! (Scientific Notation)
worty [1.4K]

5.8x10^-10 is already in sciencific notation. To convert it to normal notation you move the decimal either the right OR left the number of places the exponet says.  This case it is 10, but the negative determines the direction which is left (negative is left and positive is right.)  Thus your answer is 0.00000000058
