Answer:
Given that x=5, when we substitute in 5 for 2x + 3 = 13, the equation will turn out to be true.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3 = 13 x=5
2(5)+3=13
10+3=13
13=13
Answer: -7
Step-by-step explanation: x=3 and y=2
In this question weight of a flea and an ant is given, but their units are different. So comparing and finding out the weight of flea and ant would be difficult. First thing that needs to be done is to bring the units of both the flea and the ant under same unit.
Weight of flea = 8 decigrams
Weight of ant = 3 milligrams.
Now let us convert the weight of the flea from decigrams to milligrams.
We already know that
1 decigram = 100 milligram
Then
8 decigrams = 100 * 8 milligrams
= 800 milligrams
Then
The weight by which the flea is greater than the ant = (800 - 3) milligrams
= 797 milligrams.
So the flea weighs 797 milligrams more than the ant.
They aren't necessarily equal because, for example, 3/2 = 1 remainder 1 and 5/4 = 1 remainder 1 aren't equal because it takes 2 x 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 while 4 x 1 = 4 + 1 = 5. They are the same quotient and remainer, except they aren't used to check if it multiplys back to the same divended.
