Just plug in every value and see if it's a reasonable weight for a cell phone.

\sf 10^{-3}=0.001
\sf 10^{-1}=0.1
\sf 10^0=1
\sf 10^1=10

\sf 2.8\times 0.001=0.0028
\sf 2.8\times 0.1=0.28
\sf 2.8\times 1=2.8
\sf 2.8\times 10=28

So what is the most reasonable weight for a cell phone? 0.0028 pounds, 0.28 pounds, 2.8 pounds, or 28 pounds? I would definitely say 0.28 pounds.

The average cell phone weighs about 4 ounces, or 0.25 pounds... 0.28 is closest to this number.

2.8 * 10^-3 = 0.0028 - Much too light

2.8 * 10^-1 = 0.28 - Reasonable weight

2.8 * 10^0 = 2.8 - Too heavy

2.8 * 10^1 = Much too heavy

Show me the equation for 3 less than 5 times a number is 12 use X for the variable
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The required equation is 5x - 3 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the equation for the given condition

Let the number be x as given in the equation

Now according to the condition

5 time the Number is 5 *x = 5x

Three less then 5 time the Number would be 5x - 3

And all of it is equal to 12

Which gives us the equation

5x - 3 =12

The required equation is <em>5x - 3 = 12</em>

postnew [5]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

square = 468 m² x² + (6+x)² = 468 [Area of a square = side²] x² + (6)² + x² + 2×6×x= 468 [(a+b)²= a²+b²+2ab] 2x² + 36 + 12x= 468 2x² + 12x + 36 - 468= 0 2x² + 12x + 36 - 432 = 0 2(x² +6x - 216)= 0 x² +6x - 216 = 0 x² +18x -12x -216 =0

Picture shows the question. Please help!
zhenek [66]
Using the picture, we know (2x+6)+(5x-3)=24. Simplify to find x.

7x+3=24
7x=21
x=3

We know AB=2x+6, and x=3. Plug 3 in for x.
AB=2(3)+6.
AB=6+6
AB=12
