How to estimate to check that the answer is reasonable

Mathematics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
8 0
Basically estimating is rounding, im going to futher explain this with an example.
For example:
If I wanted to round a number by it's nearest tenth such as 678
(*example)
there are 70 tenths
now when you are estimating when you are rounding to the nearest number if the number has a higher value then 5 you increase the number if it is lower than 5 you STAY the same.

now
678,
since the number next to it is 8, 7 increases and everything else turns into zero. so 678 rounded to the nearest 10th
is 680!

Hope this example helped!

2x + 5y = -8 . . . (1)
-133x - 4y = -8 . . . (2)

(1) * 4 => 8x + 20y = -32 . . . (3)
(2) * -5 => -665x + 20y = 32 . . . (4)

(3) - (4) => 673x = 0
x = 0
From (1), 2(0) + 5y = -8
5y = -8
y = -8/5

Solve for x show work -4 1/4x-7 6/8x=-190
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

x = 15 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 1/4x-7 6/8x=-190

get a common denominator 8

-4 1/4*2/2 x - 7 6/8 x = -190

-4 2/8 x - 7 6/8 x = -190

combine like terms

-11 8/8 x = -190

-12x = -190

divide by -12

-12x/-12 = -190/-12

x = 190/12

divide top and bottom by 2

x = 95/6

change to an improper fraction

6 goes into 95 15 times with 5 left over

x = 15 5/6
