Answer:

1.65 X 10^-3 (i don't know if your teacher wants you to also add the unit at the end, but if your teacher does, then just add metric ton at the end. :-) )

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to bring the decimal point to the right of the first number, so you move the decimal point 3 times to the right, which would give you 1.65 metric ton.

So you should know that moving a decimal point to the right would make the power negative, and moving the decimal point to the left would make the power positive.

In this situation, the power would be negative, and a negative three, because you moved the decimal point 3 times to the right.

Hope this helped :-) <3

Solve for x 33x+10=5-2x

nignag [31]

Our equation: 33x + 10 = 5 - 2x

Step 1:

To solve for x, we need to remember to isolate the variable (that is our way to solve for x). To do that, we add 2x on the right side of the equation to cancel -2x out. Then, we add 2x on the left of the equation. The equation becomes:

$35x+10=5$
