Answer: the first number is 11 38/41

The second number is 10 4/41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number.

Let y represent the second number.

4 times one number plus 3 times the other is 78. It means that

4x + 3y = 78- - - - - - - - - -1

3 times the first number minus 8 times the other is -45. It means that

3x - 8y = - 45- - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 4. It becomes

12x + 9y = 234

12x - 32y = - 180

Subtracting, it becomes

41y = 414

y = 414/41

y = 10 4/41

Substituting y = 414/41 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 3 × 414/41 = 78

4x + 1242/41 = 78

4x = 78 - 1242/41

4x = 1956/41

x = 1956/41 × 1/4

x = 1956/164

x = 11 38/41

Answer:

<u>answer is C ( </u>3^{4}<u> )</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

so here is how you do it.

first you need to find out what 3^{8} is

which is the same as 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 X 3

the answer to that is 6,561

then you have to square root that

which looks like this

\sqrt{6,561}

which is 81

which means that you have to find the same expression that equals to 81

I then did 3^{4} (C) to see if the answer will be 81 and it is. so your answer is C

The correct answer is:  [C]:  " -5 ΙxΙ = 25 " .
______________________________________________
In this answer choice, when you divide each side by "-5" ; 

 you get:  " ΙxΙ = -5 ;

If x = 5, the result is "5" ; NOT "-5" .

If x = -5, the result is "5" ; NOT "-5" .

The "absolute value" of a value is always "zero" or greater.
______________________________________________
Answer choice:  [C]: has no solution.
