Let assume that the the two numbers are X and Y and that X is the large number.
According to the question, 
X + Y = 53 .................. Equation 1
then,  X = 11 + Y........... Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1.
[11 + Y] + Y = 53
11 + 2Y = 53
2Y = 53 - 11 = 42
2Y = 42
Y = 42 / 2 = 21,
Therefore, Y = 21 [Small number].
According to equation 1, 
X +Y = 53
X + 21 = 53
X = 53 - 21 = 32.
Therefore, X = 32 [Big number].

What's the step by step progress for writing 14.35 in scientific notation​
Dmitry [639]

For scientific notation, you always want 1 digits in front of the decimal.

Ex) 7.39*10^5

Move the decimal point in between the 1 and 4, or 1 place to the left.

1.435

Since the decimal point was moved 1 place to the left, the exponent after 10 will be 1.

1.435*10^1

1.435*10^1 is your final answer.

1.435*10 is the same thing also.

What is the solution to the equation -M+KX=J
marta [7]

Answer:

  X = (J+M)/K

Step-by-step explanation:

Undo what has been done to the variable, in reverse order. The variable has been multiplied by K and M subtracted from the result. So, we first add M (to undo the subtraction), then we divide by K (to undo the multiplication).

  KX = J +M . . . . . . M added to the given equation

  X = (J + M)/K . . . . the result of that is then divided by K

___

Since these are all capital letters, we might assume they represent vectors and/or matrices. If so, the "divide by K" step needs to be "multiply on the left by K^-1, the matrix inverse of K."

Then your solution looks like

  X = K⁻¹·(J + M)
