Lets x and y are the value of two numbers.
x + y = 16
x - y = 2.4
If x + y = 16 then x = 16 - y
Substitute x = 16 - y into x - y = 2.4
16 - y - y = 2.4
16 - 2y = 2.4
2y = 13.6
y = 6.8
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 6.8
x = 9.2
Answer:
The value of two numbers are 9.2 and 6.8
Find cost of pens and mechanical pencils
pen cost=number of pens times cost pe pen
pencost=10 times 0.35=3.50
mech cost=number of mechs times cost pe mech
mechcost=5 times 0.89=4.45
4.45 is more than 3.50
yes, mech cost mre than pens
So, 27=30 and 18=20 rounded
so what you would do now is multiply 30 x 20 and you get $600
I'm pretty sure the answer is exponent since it tells you how many times to multiply the number beside it by itself.
Example:

It is NOT 3 × 4 = 12
It is 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 9 = 81
