Try this solution:
let the unknown two-digits number be 'xy'.
Then it is possible to write any two-digit number as 10x+y, where x - the tens digit and y - the unit digit.
Using the rule described above the phrase 'the tens digit of a number is twice the units digit' may be written as x=2y.
Using the same rule the phrase 'if the digits are reversed, the new number is 36 is less than the original number' may be written as (10x+y)-(10y+x)=36.
These two equations may be resolved as system of two equations:
\left \{ {{x=2y} \atop {10x+y-(10y+x)=36}} \right. \ =\ \textgreater \  \  \left \{ {{x=8} \atop {y=4}} \right.
Check: the original number is 84, the new number is 48; difference is 84-48=36.

answer: 84

liq [111]

Answer:

A.  x = 3.03

B.  x = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A.  2000 (x-0.03) = 6000 is quickly simplified byu dividing both sides by 2000:

(x - 0.03) = 3.  Removing the parentheses, we get:  x = -0.03 = 3, or x = 3.03.

B.  The distributive property is the faster method here.  We determine that the LCD is 12 and multiply both sides of this equation 1/4 (4+x) = 4/3 by 12:

3(4 + x) = 16

and then carry out the indicated multiplication:  12 + 3x = 16, or

3x = 4, or x = 4/3

The point nearest to the origin on a line is at (4, -4). Find the standard form of the equation of the line.
Scrat [10]

Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.


The point nearest the origin is (a,b).


The line from the origin through the point is


bx - ay = 0


The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


ax + by = a^2 + b^2


ax + by -( a^2 + b^2) = 0


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


4 x - 4 y - 32 = 0


x - y - 8 = 0
