Using x to represent our missing values and the fact that there are two missing values gives us x + x = 2x. Because it's the sum of these numbers and 0.34, we get the equation 2x + 0.34; now we set it equal to 2, 2x + 0.34 = 2. 

To solve, 1st subtract 0.34 on both sides to get 2x = 1.66. Now divide by 2 on both sides to get x = 0.83. 

So your decimals are 0.34, 0.83, and 0.83

Answer:

In general the two other decimals are x and y that satisfy x + y = 1.66 where x ≤ .99 and y ≤ .99

One particular pair would be x = 0.99 and y = 0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

If Holland added three decimals that made a sum of 2 and one of them was 0.34, we are going to name x and y to the other 2 decimals.

We are going to write the equation:

0.34 + x +y= 2\\x+y=2-0.34\\x+y = 1.66

So we have that both the other numbers have to sum 1.66, however, we know both numbers are decimals so neither one of them can be greater than 1.

So this problem has many answers and the answers would be all the numbers that satisfy x + y = 1.66 where x ≤ .99 and y ≤ .99

  • For example, if x = 0.99, y would be:

y = 1.66 -0.99 = 0.67.

And our pair of numbers would be 0.99 and 0.67.

  • If x = .80, y would be

y = 1.66 - 0.80 = 0.86

And our pair of numbers would be 0.80 and 0.86

This way, we can find more than 1 answer for the other two decimals.

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing. Round the solution to the nearest tenth as needed. Y + 2.3 = 0.45x and -2y = 4
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(2.4, -1.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by moving the x and the y to the same side and moving the number across the equal sign in both equations. We should now have y-0.45x=-2.3 and 2y+4.2x=7.8. We can use the elimination method by multiplying the first equation by -2 to get -2y+0.9x=4.6 and 2y+4.2x=7.8. From there, add the two equations together, eliminating y (-2+2=0). We now have 5.1x=12.4; divide both sides by 5.1 to get x=2.4. Then, in any of the two equations, let's use y-0.45x=-2.3, substitute x with 2.4. Now we have y-1.08=-2.3. Add 1.08 to both sides to get y=-1.22; round that to the nearest tenth to get -1.2.

I am stuck on this question do you mind checking it for me
nataly862011 [7]

Solution:

Given:

\frac{a}{b}\cdot\frac{c}{d}

Since b and d are nonzero elements, then it is the product of two rational numbers.

Multiplying two rational numbers produces another rational number.

Therefore, the product is a rational expression.

OPTION C is the correct answer.
