The sum of a certain number and a second number is -42. The first number minus the second number is 52. find the numbers

1 answer:

8 0

Let the first number be x and decide number be y
therefore x+y = -42
also. x-y = 52 using the process of elimination
we get: 2x = 10
we divide both sides by 2, which gives us x=5
then we substitute the value of x in the first equation
that gives us. 5+y = -42
thus. y = -47

Simora [160]

Answer:

The result in standard form is: $2.3 \times 10^{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the values:

To find the real part, we divide 2.645 by 1.15. So

2.645/1.15 = 2.3

Finding the power:

Its a division, so we keep the base, and subtract the exponents. So

$\frac{10^9}{10^3} = 10^{9-3} = 10^{6}$

Result in standard form:

The result in standard form is: $2.3 \times 10^{6}$

omeli [17]

There are several information's of immense importance in the problem. Based on these information's the answer to the question can be easily reached. The only thing that has to be kept in mind is the calculation part, otherwise it is a simple problem.
Now it is given that:
A large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk.
Then
Amount of milk required to make medium shake = (8/9) * (1/7) of a pint
= 8/63 of a pint
Then it can be said that for making a medium chocolate shake , 8/63 of a pint of milk is required. This is the simplest form of the fraction and it cannot be expressed as a mixed number since the denominator is higher than the numerator.
