If we say:
x = the smaller numbers we want to find
y = the larger number we want to find
Then, we can formulate two equations using the information given:
x + y = 68 [1]
y - 4x = 3 [2]
Now, we can solve simultaneously:
Rearrange [1] & [2] in terms of y:
y = 68 - x [1]
y = 4x + 3 [2]
Now equate them and solve for x:
68 - x = 4x + 3
5x + 3 = 68
5x = 65
x = 13
Sub x-value into either [1] or [2]:
y = 68 - (13)
y = 55

What is an efficient way to compute 47^2–37^2 without using raw calculations?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

(47+37)(47-37)

Step-by-step explanation:

47^2-37^2 is a difference of two squares. a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b) so this expression can be factored to (47+37)(47-37) = (84)(10) = 840

In the number 5.3779, how does the value of 7 in the hundredths place compare to the value of the 7 in the thousandth place?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

  (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The hundredths place is immediately to the left of the thousandths place. In our base-10 number system, moving a digit to the left one place increases its value by a factor of 10.

The value of 7 in the hundredths place is 10 times the value of 7 in the thousandths place.
