8. The sum of two numbers is 8 less than twice the first number. Their difference is 4 less than twice

Mathematics

Answer:

14 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by naming the first number x.

We can name the second number y.

We can set up equations to model our situation.

x+y=2x-8

x-y=2y-4

Let's simplify the equations.

x+y=2x-8

Subtract 2x from both sides

-x+y=-8

__________

x-y=2y-4

Subtract 2y from both sides.

x-3y=-4

Add the two equations together to eliminate x.

x-3y=-4

-x+y=-8

________

0x-2y=-12

-2y=-12

Divide both sides by -2.

y=6

The second number is 6.

Plug that back in.

x+6=2x-8

Subtract x from both sides

6=x-8

Add 8 to both sides

x=14

The first number is 14

How many times larger than 2x10^3 is 6x10^6?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: 5,998,000

Step-by-step explanation:

2x10^3= 2,000

6x10^6= 6,000,000

In translation, Use 1 x The Initial SIG FIGS, or first numbers. 10x10 is 100, and notice how 10 and 10 have 2 zeros, so 1x1 = 1 +00 is a way to construct the number.

In this case, the 10^x, the x can represent the number of zeros after our first value.

So, 6 + six zeros, or 6,000,000

and, 2 + 3 zeros, or 2,000

To find the difference, subtract the numbers from eachother and extract the absolute value, (meaning the final answer won't be negative).

So, 6,000,000 - 2,000 = 5,998,000, which is the answer to the prompt!

Hope this Helped!
