3x-2y=8 and 0.5x+y=17

1 answer:

7 0

2y is in the first equation so if you change 0.5x+y=17 to y=17-0.5x and then double it to 2y=34-x, you can substitute and find x. And then you can find out y.

How to find x:

0.5x+y=17

y=17-0.5x

2y=34-x

3x-2y=8

3x-34-x=8

x=21

How to find y (with previous info.)

x=21

3x-2y=8

3*21-2y=8

63-8=2y

55=2y

27.5=y

It seems to be a tilted square, so all angles are the same.
$103 \times 3$
so maybe just multiply by 3 and get 309 since B, C, and D are three angles.
$103 \times 3 = 309$
I might be wrong but, the answer should be 309.

ANSWER

A) 9.4 * 10^-8, 9.25 * 10^-6, 2.5 * 10^3, 7* 10^3

EXPLANATION

The numbers are given in standard form.

The first criteria we will use to order them is the exponents.

The bigger the exponents the bigger the number.

The second criteria is that, if the exponents of any two numbers are the same, then we use the numbers multiplying the powers of 10 to order.

$9.4 * 10^{-8} \: < \: 9.25 * 10^{-6} \: < \: 2.5 * 10^3 \: < \: 7* 10^3$
