Can someone explain this to me how 7.5-3.7=3.8?​

Hello!

When you subtract these numbers, you always first subtract the numbers in the smallest place value. In this case, that would be the .5 and .7. However, since you cannot subtract 7 from 5 without getting a negative number, borrow a one from the place value that is one greater.

Thus, you get:

15 - 7 = 8

Therefore, we know that the ._ digit of our result is .8.

Now, moving on to the next smallest place value (in this case the largest).

You would subtract 7 - 3, however remember earlier that we borrowed a one. When you borrow a one, you must subtract one from the number that it was borrowed from. Therefore, the equation would become 6 - 3.

6 - 3 = 3

Therefore, the ones digit of our result is 3.

Put these two together, and you get your result of 3.8.

Hope this helps!

State whether you believe the two variables are correlated. If you believe they are correlated, state whether the correlation is
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

I believe they are correlated: positive correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher the repair bills of a car, it means maybe having bad fuel injectors, will cause bad mileage allowing the car to consume more fuel. It is like say the inexorable decline of a car in areas including minor wears and incorrect adjustment etc impairs fuel economy. Thus, the higher the repair bills, the higher the fuel consumption. This is an example of a positive correlation. This means the value of y increases as there is an increase in the value of x.

Y-3x=3 and x-2y=4 using elimination method​
solniwko [45]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 3x = 3

x - 2y = 4

-3x + y = 3

x - 2y = 4

-6x + 2y = 6

x - 2y = 4

Add the equations.

-5x = 10

x = -2

Substitute -2 for x in the first original equation and solve for y.

y - 3x = 3

y - 3(-2) = 3

y + 6 = 3

y = -3

Answer: x = -2, y = -3

Graph x<2, need help on this one please.
pogonyaev
Okay. So, the line shaded would have to be left to 2, because it's less than 2. In that case, A and C are eliminated, because they shade to the right, not left. B and D do this, but wait. The dotted line has to represent the less than, because the one that's fully filled in would mean less than or equal to. B would make sense, because the line is dotted and that makes an inequality symbol of less than, not less than or equal to. The answer is B.

Note: When the sign is < or >, the line on the graph is dotted. If the sign is <= or >=, then the line on the graph is solid.
