Answer:

= 1.14 \times 10^{7}pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

If each whales weighed

3.8 \times  {10}^{5}

Then 30 whales weighed

30 \times 3.8 \times  {10}^{5}

=114 \times {10}^{5}

= 1.14 \times 10^{2}  \times {10}^{10}

Applying the law of indices we obtain

= 1.14 \times 10^{(2+ 5)}

=1.14 \times 10^{7}pounds

A television is measured by its diagonal. If the height of a 70 inch television is 42 inches, what is the width? ​
GenaCL600 [577]

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

70^2 = 42^2 + width^2

4900 = 1764 + width ^2

Subtract 1764 from both sides

3136 = width^2

Take the square root of both sides

Width = 56 inches

2. Solve the following system. Show all your work. {3x - 2y + 2z = 30 {-x + 3y - 4z = -33 {2x - 4y + 3z = 42
Semmy [17]
From the system of equations, we have 3 unknowns and 3 equations. Therefore, it can be solved. 

<span>3x - 2y + 2z = 30  (1)
</span><span>-x + 3y - 4z = -33  (2)
</span><span>2x - 4y + 3z = 42   (3)

We can write equation 2 x as a function of y and z and substitute the new equation to the other equations.
</span>x =3y - 4z + 33  (2)

3 (3y - 4z + 3)<span> - 2y + 2z = 30  (1)
</span>2 (3y - 4z + <span>3)</span> - 4y + 3z = 42   (3)

We simplify and solve the equations and we get values,

x = 4
y = -7
z = 2

Simplify:- ~~~~~~~
Alchen [17]

\sf \dashrightarrow \:  -  \frac{2}{5}  - ( -  \frac{3}{10} ) - ( -  \frac{4}{7} )

When there is a - in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression to +

\sf \dashrightarrow \:  -  \frac{2}{5}    + \frac{3}{10}  +  \frac{4}{7}

Calculate the LCM of denominators

\sf\frac{ - 28 + 21 + 40}{70}

Calculate the difference
