John decides to reduce a shape one half of its original size. The square that he had originally is 4 x 4. He reduces it so it will be 2×2
3x - 4y = 7
-(3x + 2y = -5)
= 0 - 6y = 12
-6y = 12
y = -2
The resulting equation would be y = -2.
Answer:
2.52
Step-by-step explanation:
4.2% of 60 = 4.2% * 60
4.2% = 0.042
0.042 * 60
2.52
In monetary terms, you're making change. If you need more ones, you trade one 10 for 10 ones.
When I was in school, many years ago, we used small superscript-type numbers to show this:
7 3 0 ⇒ 7 2 ¹0 . . . . regrouping to gain 10 ones
7 2 ¹0 ⇒ 6 ¹2 ¹0 . . .regrouping again to gain 10 more tens
You'd have to look at the example problems that precede this page in order to see what the meaning of "magnifying glass" is.
