Divide the denominator from the numerator.
For example:
1/8 is the same as 1÷8
Then do long division:
_____
8) 1
You will get 0.125
Solve the equations
first one
take the sqrt of both sides
x-y=√71
add y to both sides
x=y+√71
sub y+√71 for x in other part
(y+√71)²+y²=59
y²+2y√71+71+y²=59
2y²+2y√71+71=59
minus 59 both sides
2y²+2y√71+12=0
factor out 2
2(y²+y√71+6)=0
use quadratic equation or something
y=

and
sub those for x
x=y+√71
note: √71=(2√71)/2
x=

,
or
x=

,
xy=

times

or

times

the result is -6 both times
xy=-6
The answer is 57 because 8^1 is 8
Answer:
Sergio's statement is false
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one pound of plum = 1.60
Total quantity of plum bought = 1
Weight of each plum = 1/4 pound
If he buys plum of $ 3.80 at the rate of $1.60 per pound, he purchases 2.375 pounds of plum
Weight of one plum = 1/4 pound, thus total number of plum purchased = 9.5
Since 0.5 pound of plum means half plum which is not possible to buy
Hence Sergio's statement is false
