68 is the answer of the question you ask the committee
Recall that
Take it one piece at a time. For
, we can scale
by -5:
If we shift the argument by 1 and scale by -5, we have
so if we subtract this from
, we'll end up with
For the next piece, we can add another scaled and shifted step like
so that
For the last piece, we add one more term:
and so putting everything together, we get
:
Answer:
k= -0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
3+2(5k-3)=7 (original)
3+10k-6=7 (distribute 2 in (5k-3))
9+10k=7 (combine like terms 3+-6)
10k=-2 (subtract 9 on both sides to isolate k)
k=-0.2 (divide 10 on both sides to get you're answer/isolate k)
Answer:
First, we have rounded numbers A and B, and we know that:
A + B = 11000
A - B = 3000
Now we can solve this system of equations as:
Isolating one variable in one of the equations, i will choose A in the second equation:
A = 3000 + B.
Now we can replace this into the other equation:
3000 + B + B = 11000
2*B = 11000 - 3000 = 8000
B = 8000/2 = 4000
and:
A - 4000 = 3000
A = 3000 + 4000 = 7000.
But remember that our original numbers are not exactly whole numbers, they are rounded up, so we could write them as:
A = 6999.8 (that would be rounded up to 7000)
B = 3999.7 (that would be rounded up to 4000)
The sum is:
A + B = 10999.5 (notice that this would be rounded up to 11000)
A - B = 3000.1 (this would be rounded down to 3000)
