Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the expression using only positive exponents. Then, evaluate the expression. 3^{-2}
Let x = the first number
Let y = the second number
So we can set up two equations:
x+y = 400
.8x + .85y = 400-68
Use substitution:
y = 400 - x
.8x + (.85)*(400-x) = 332
.8x + 340 -.85x = 332
8 = .05x
x = 160
So that makes y = 240
We want the decreased values so:
160*.8 = 128
240*.85 = 204
So the answers are 128 and 204
