Explain how to use mental math to find 620-278?

What I did was add 22 in my head to 278 to equal 300.

I then just took 620-300 = 320.

Then don't forget about the 22 you added earlier because now you need to add it to the total. 

320+22= 342

OR

You can add 42 to the 278 to give you 320.

Then you can easily see that its 620-320 = 300.

Then add the 42 to the 300 to give 342

1. The sum of a two-digits number is 13. The tens digit is 8 less than twice the units digit. What is the number?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

<u>The number is 67</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's consider the number 83. The tens digit is 8 and the unit digit is 3. Note the tens digit's addition to the number is 80, and the unit's addition is 3. This means the tens digit adds 10 times its value, that is, 83 = 8*10 + 3.

Now, let's consider the number ab, where a is the tens digit, and b is the unit digit. It follows that

Number=10*a+b

The question gives us two conditions:

1) The sum of a two-digits number is 13.

2) The tens digit is 8 less than twice the units digit.

The first condition can be expressed as:

a + b = 13                     [1]

And the second condition can be written as:

a = 2b-8                      [2]

Replacing [2] into [1], we have:

2b-8 + b = 13

Operating:

3b = 13 + 8

3b = 21

Solving for b:

b = 21 / 3 = 7

Substituting into [2]:

a = 2*(7) - 8 = 6

Thus, the number is 67

How do you graph? <br> y=−4/3x+8y
trasher [3.6K]

How do we graph anything? Make a table of values for x and y and then plot each point. After plotting each point on the xy-plane, connect each point with a straight line or curve (depending on the function).


In this case, we must first isolate y.


y = (-4/3)x + 8y


y - 8y = (-4/3)x


-7y = (-4/3)x


y = (-4/3)x ÷ (-7)


y = (4/21)x


Now follow the steps above.
