Answer:

They are both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It's interpretation of the concept. In common practice multiplying by 10 means you add a zero and that's what we teach 10 year olds. But what does adding a zero mean? It means adding a place value and that's what you learn when you are

So in both examples just add a decimal:

2.0 x 10 = 20.

0.2 x 10 = 2.0

In conclusion, it depends on the level of precision required in the discussion and the level of maturity as to who is correct in their examples. If you are teaching 3rd graders math, by all means you add a zero. If you are discussing physics you are shifting over a place value.

Does anyone know <br> 2x=8y=7<br> 4x-2y=9
Fantom [35]
Assuming you mean 2x-8y=7, we can start by multiplying the first equation by -2 and adding it to the second (to cross out the x), resulting in -18y=-5. After that, we can divide both sides by -18, resulting in y=5/18. Next, plugging that into 4x-2y=9, we have 4x-10/18=9. Adding 10/18 to both sides, we get 4x=9+10/18. After that, we can divide both sides by 4, resulting in x=(9+10/18)/4=
