A digit is a number in one of the places, so for example the number 54 has two digits; a tens place digit (5) and a ones place digit (4).
Say the mystery number is a two digit number = xy
* that's not x times y but two side by side digits.
Info given:
<span>the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 6
x + y = 6 </span>
<span>if the digits are reversed, yx the difference between the new number and the original number is 18.
**To obtain the number from digits you must multiply by the place and add the digits up. (Example: 54 = 10(5) + 1(4))
Original number = 10x + y
Reversed/New number = 10y + x
Difference:
10y + x - (10x + y) = 18
9y - 9x = 18
9(y - x) = 18
y - x = 18/9
y - x = 2
Now we have two equations in two variables
</span>y - x = 2
<span>x + y = 6
Re-write one in terms of one variable for substitution.
y = 2 + x
sub in to the other equation to combine them.
x + (2 + x) = 6
2x + 2 = 6
2x = 6 - 2
2x = 4
x = 2
That's the tens digit for the original number. Plug this value into either of the equations to obtain y, the ones digit.
2 + y = 6
y = 4
number "xy" = 24

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the standard quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c=0
Let's compare all the given equation to it and , find discriminant.
1. a=2, b= -7, c=-9
So it has 2 real number solutions.
2. a=1, b=-4, c=4
So it has only 1 real number solution.
3. a=4, b=-3, c=-1
So it has 2 real number solutions.
4. a=1, b=-2, c=-8
So it has 2 real number solutions.
5. a=3, b=5, c=3
Thus it does not has real solutions.
X equals 18. This might not be correct
The fraction is 156/468 and the percentage is 33 percent
Answer:
(1 gallon)/(100 ft^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 gallon)/(100 ft^2) is a good conversion factor. We could also use (100 ft^2)/(1 gallon), but I like the first, since the calculation is simpler:
(300ft^2)*/(1 gallon)/(100 ft^2) = 3 gallons [I like multiplication better than division, and especially here, since 300/100 is 3, if my memory is correct.
