2008:

1d = 8.24y

1d/8.24 = 8.24y/8.24

0.12d = 1y

2010

1d = 6.64y

1d/6.64 = 6.64y/6.64

0.15d = 1y

Answer: 2008: US$0.12; 2010: US$0.15
Answer is choice A.

This answer is correct. The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0, and we are looking for an absolute value of 1. Both -1 and 1 are 1 whole number away from 0.

4x=-3y+17 becomes 4x+3y=17

4x+3y=17
3x-4y=-6

alrighty

elimination

muliply first equation by 4 and 2nd by 3 and add them
16x+12y=68
9x-12y=-18
add them

25x+0y=50
25x=50
idivide both sides by 25
x=2

sub back

3x-4y=-6
3(2)-4y=-6
6-4y=-6
-4y=-12
y=3

Solve your equation using trail and improvement. A number plus ten times its square root is is equal to one thousand

Alex

Answer:

$x \approx 729$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the number be x

So:

$x + 10\sqrt x = 1000$

Required

Using trial and improvement, find x

This implies that we keep guessing the values of x until we get a value that match the equation.

Let

$x = 625$

So, we have:

$x + 10\sqrt x = 1000$

$625 + 10 *\sqrt{625}$

Take the square root of 625

$625 + 10 *\sqrt{625} = 625 + 10 *25$

$625 + 10 *\sqrt{625} = 625 + 250$

$625 + 10 *\sqrt{625} = 875$

Let

$x = 729$

So, we have:

$x + 10\sqrt x = 1000$

$729 + 10 * \sqrt{729}$

Take the square root of 729

$729 + 10 * \sqrt{729} = 729 + 10 * 27$

$729 + 10 * \sqrt{729} = 729 + 270$

$729 + 10 * \sqrt{729} = 999$

At this point, we can conclude that x is approximately 729 because

$999 \approx 1000$

So:

$x \approx 729$

Find 3 1/6 + (-4 1/3).

jeka94

Answer:

-1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

$3\frac{1}{6} + (-4\frac{1}{3} )$

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions

$\frac{19}{6} + (-\frac{13}{3} )$

Apply the rule: a + (-b) = a - b

$\frac{19}{6} + (-\frac{13}{3} ) = \frac{19}{6} - \frac{13}{3}$

The Least Common Multiplier of 6 and 3 is 6

Adjust the fractions on the LCM

$\frac{19}{6} - \frac{26}{3}$

Apply the Fraction Rule: $\frac{a}{c} -\frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}$

$\frac{19 - 26}{6}$

Subtract the numbers

$\frac{-7}{6}$

Apply the Fraction Rule: $\frac{-a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}$

$-\frac{7}{6}$

Convert improper fraction into a mixed number

$-1\frac{1}{6}$

Hope this Helps :)
