6/7 because 48 divided by 8 is 6 and 56 divided by 8 is 7
I suppose the / are absolute value lines.... so ill answer it that way, -(-2) simplifies to 2. -/-2/ simplifies to -2
First we multiply the numbers ignoring the decimal and then place the decimal in the position
3.04 *7.091 = 2155664
Now the first number has two digits after the decimal and the second number has three digits after the decimal.
Therefore in the final result we have to move the decimal (2+3) =5 place from the left,
So the answer would be 21.55664
So, the correct answer is 21.55664
Jerry calculated the answer correctly , but made an error in the placement of the decimal point. The answer is not reasonable because 2.155664 and 21.55664 mean two completely different answer far apart from each other
X= weight of TV
y= weight of CD
3x+5y= 62.5
3x+ 2y= 52
You can either solve for a variable, or eliminate a variable by subtracting the second equation from the first:
3x + 5y = 62.5
-(3x+2y = 52)
0 + 3y = 10.5, so y = 10.5/3 or 3.5.
Now plug y= 3.5 back into any equation to get x:
3x + 5(3.5) = 62.5
3x + 17.5 = 62.5
3x = 45
x = 15
Always check work. Both equations should be true for x=15, y= 3.5
