Answer:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
4*x-12-(6*x-18)=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Pull out like factors :
-2x + 6 = -2 • (x - 3)
-3x + 9 - 4 = x + 3 + 2x
-3x + 9 - 4 = 3x + 3
9 - 4 = 6x + 3
5 = 6x + 3
2 = 6x
1/3 = x
My understanding it would be letter ( i ) because it is imaginary.
When rounding here are the rules
If the next number to the right is 1-4, you will round down or keep the # the same.
If the next number to the right is 5-9, you will round up to the next number.
So with your # 281,421,906
a. hundred million. This is the first 2...the number to the right of it is 8, so we will round the 2 up. And the answer is 300,000,000
b. ten million. This is the 8...the number to the right of it is 1, so we will round it down and 8 will remain an 8. And the answer is 280,000,000
c. million. This is the first 1 (281)...the number to the right is 4, so we will round down and 1 will remain a 1. And the answer is 281,000,000
d. hundred thousand. This is the 4...the number to the right of it is 2, so we will round down and the 4 will remain a 4. And the answer is 281,400,000
e. thousand. This is the second 1 (281,421)...the number to the right is the 9, so we will round up and the 1 will become a 2. And the answer is 281,422,000
Now for #14, think about the rules.
1. If you round it to the nearest one, you get 7.
2. If you round it to the nearest tenth, you get 7.0.
3. If you round it o the nearest hundredth, you get 7.00
4. It is the least number that fits the clues.
Ok basically it is saying, it rounds up to 7. So what would be the number that would round UP to 7? That would be 6. I'm rounding UP because it says it is the LEAST number that fits the clues.
Well, we could try adding up odd numbers, and look to see when we reach 400. But I'm hoping to find an easier way.
First of all ... I'm not sure this will help, but let's stop and notice it anyway ...
An odd number of odd numbers (like 1, 3, 5) add up to an odd number, but
an even number of odd numbers (like 1,3,5,7) add up to an even number.
So if the sum is going to be exactly 400, then there will have to be an even
number of items in the set.
Now, let's put down an even number of odd numbers to work with,and see
what we can notice about them:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 .
Number of items in the set . . . 8
Sum of all the items in the set . . . 64
Hmmm. That's interesting. 64 happens to be the square of 8 .
Do you think that might be all there is to it ?
Let's check it out:
Even-numbered lists of odd numbers:
1, 3 Items = 2, Sum = 4
1, 3, 5, 7 Items = 4, Sum = 16
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 Items = 6, Sum = 36
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 . . Items = 8, Sum = 64 .
Amazing ! The sum is always the square of the number of items in the set !
For a sum of 400 ... which just happens to be the square of 20,
we just need the <em><u>first 20 consecutive odd numbers</u></em>.
I slogged through it on my calculator, and it's true.
I never knew this before. It seems to be something valuable
to keep in my tool-box (and cherish always).
