Answer:

Paul have $250 and Rachel have $500 originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel: 2x

Paul: x

If I gave Rachel $250, then:

Rachel: 2x + 250

Paul: 3x

We have he equation:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = -250

-x = -250

x = 250

Let's make "x" the amount of Paul.

2x = Rachel.

This means that 2x + 250 = 3x.

Solve:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = 250

-x = 250

x = 250

So that means Paul had 250 dollars.

And Rachel had 500 dollars.

Answer:

LEAST DIFFICULT: B

MOST DIFFICULT: I

Step-by-step explanation:

LEAST DIFFICULT:

The easiest systems of equations to solve are ones in which x or y is equal to just a number , because in this case, you can just sub in that number in the other equations. Though not the only one, B is an example of this.

MOST DIFFICULT:

More difficult systems of equations to solve are the ones with different amounts of x and y as it requires more computation. Set I is an example of this

What is the quotient written in scientific notation? 6 x 10^24 /8 x 10^8
Artist 52 [7]

When you divide 6x10^24 by 8x10^8 you end up with \frac{6}{8} x10^{16}

This simplifies to 0.75x10^{16}

Now this number is not written in scientific notation as it does not have its first digit before the decimal, so we must move the decimal of this one to the right.

To do that you must multiply the number by 10.

This means that the exponet of 10 must decrease by 1.

This makes the answer 7.5x10^{15}
