Answer:

72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the expression 72.3 + (-39.1)

opening the parenthesis:

= 72.3 + (-39.1)

= 72.3 - 39.1

Breaking the decimal values into place values

72.3 = 7tens + 2units + 3tenth

72.3 = 7(10)+2(1)+3(1/10)

72.3 =70+2+0.3

Similarly for 39.1

39.1 = 3tens + 9units + 1tenth

39.1 = 3(10)+9(1)+1(1/10)

39.1 =30+9+0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - (30+9+0.1)

72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - 30-9-0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 70-30+2-9+0.3-0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 40 - 7 +0.2

72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth

Answer:

One Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 3

x - y = -3

4y = 6 Subtract to solve by elimination.

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ Divide by 4.

x - $\frac{3}{2}$ = -3 Substitute $\frac{3}{2}$ for y in the original equation.

x = - $\frac{3}{2}$ Add $\frac{3}{2}$ .

On the last day of school, Mrs. Awesome gave jelly beans to her class. She gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys

professor190 [17]

Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of girls in the class. There were two more boys than girls in her class, then the number of boys is x + 2.

Mrs. Awesome gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys in the class, so each of x + 2 boys got x + 2 jelly beans, so

Number of boys = x + 2

Number of jelly beans each boy got = x + 2

Total number of jelly beans all boys got = (x + 2)(x + 2)

Mrs. Awesome gave each girl as many jelly beans as there were girls in the class, so each of x girls got x jelly beans, so

Number of girls = x

Number of jelly beans each girl got = x

Total number of jelly beans all girls got = (x)(x)

Hence,

Total number of jelly beans class got = (x + 2)(x + 2) + (x)(x)

Mrs. Awesome brought 400 jelly beans, and when she finished, she had six jelly beans left, so she gave 400 - 6 = 394 jelly beans to the calss.

So,

$(x+2)(x+2)+(x)(x)=394\\ \\x^2+2x+2x+4+x^2=394\\ \\2x^2+4x+4-394=0\\ \\2x^2+4x-390=0\\ \\x^2+2x-195=0\\ \\D=2^2-4\cdot (-195)=4+780=784\\ \\\sqrt{D}=28\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-2\pm 28}{2\cdot 1}=-15,\ 13$

Number of girls cannot be negative, so x = 13, x + 2 = 15 and total number of students is 13 + 15 = 28
