Why do you need to line up the decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?

Mathematics

devlian [24]4 years ago

Because the number in decimal form has a different value based on their position from the decimal point. Every one number left of decimal point it will be valued 10 times. If you don't line them up you can compare them because they might have a different value and you will end up messing your calculation.

A line with slope of -3 passes through the points ( x , -6 ) and ( -2 , 6 ). What is the missing x-coordinate?
valentina_108 [34]
We can use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the answer. Therefore, we would have: 6-(-6)/-2-x equalling -3. So, 12/-2-x = -3. We multiply both sides by -2-x and get 12 = -3(-2 - x), then 12 = 6+ 3x. We then get 6 = 3x, and by dividing both sides by 2 we get x = 2.

For a school fundraiser mai will make school spirit bracelets. She will order bead wiring and alphabet beads to create the schoo
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

235 bracelets

Step-by-step explanation:

Mai must spend $250 on wire and $5.30 per bracelet beads. Mai creates the expression.

We are given the equation:

5.3n+ 250 to represent the cost of making n bracelets.

The maximum number of bracelets Mai can make with a budget of $1500 Is calculated as:

$1500 = 5.3n+ 250

Collect like terms

1500 - 250 = 5.3n

1250 = 5.3n

n = 1250/5.3

n = 235.8490566 bracelets.

Bracelets are created as whole numbers and they can't be in decimal form.

Therefore, the maximum number of bracelets Mai can make with a budget of $1500 is 235 bracelets.

What is the value of x if 5x+2 = 59?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x = 57/5 = 11.400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

1.1      Solve  :    5x-57 = 0

Add  57  to both sides of the equation :

                     5x = 57

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

                    x = 57/5 = 11.400

One solution was found :

                  x = 57/5 = 11.400
