rank | 1st | 2nd |TOTAL
------|-----+-------|----------
a | 6 + 9 | =15
b | 7 + 3 | =16
c | 9 + 7 | =23
d | 6 + 7 | =22
e | 8 + 1 | =?
If you add the 1st in line a (6) and you add it to the 1st in line b (7) + the 2nd in line b (3) you get 16. Repeat the same logic/pattern to all c,d..
This is the pattern to all this puzzle;
So the before last term is : 9+6+7 = 22
and the last term : 6+8+1 = 15
Answer:
-5.1x + 12.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms: first, combine the x terms, obtaining -5.1x.
Next, combine the constants, obtaining 12.3.
The simplified expression is -5.1x + 12.3
It says to estimate first 1,537 turns to 2,000 because the 5 is 5 or more so the 1 becomes 2 and everything else is zeros. Now multiply 2000x 242=484,000 is the Estimation. Now find the correct product for 1,537x242=371,954
