A negative exponent means to move the decimal point to the left the number of the exponent.
10^-1 you would move the decimal 1 place to the left.
5.401 x 10^-1 = 0.5401
Answer:
The 2 numbers are -12.5 and 17.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 1 number be x then x - y = 30 where the other number is y.
y = x - 30 so the sum is:
x - 30 + x = 5
2x = 35
x = 17.5
and y = 17.5 - 30 = -12.5.
I think the answer is stage left because if you flip your view point, you'll get stage left.
Hopefully that helped! :)
