We calculate it by multiplying the place value and face value of the digit. For instance: If we consider a number 45. Here the digit 4 is in the tens column.
Answer:
n = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(n+9)=15
Distribute -3 to (n+9):
-3n - 27 = 15
Add 27 to both sides:
-3n = 42
Divide both sides by -3:
n = -14
Answer:
The 9 ounce box is the better deal, and Kyle will save 2 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you should find how much 1 once would cost in the 9 ounce box.
Do 2.52 ÷ 9 = x
x = 0.28
This means that in the <u>9 ounce box, one ounce costs 28 cents</u>.
Now, find how much one once would cost in the 12 ounce box.
3.60 ÷ 12 = x
x = 0.30
This means that in the <u>12 ounce box, one ounce costs 30 cents</u>.
This means that the 9 ounce box is a better deal, because it costs less per ounce.
0.30 - 0.28 = 0.02. This means there is a 2 cent difference in their prices per ounce.
So, Kyle should choose the 9 ounce box, and he will save 2 cents per box.
Answer:
-8x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute -4 to the parentheses:
-4(2x - 3)
-4(2x) = -8x
-4(-3) = 12
-8x + 12
Answer:
- $52
- this estimate is a little low
Explanation:
a) I might choose 6 1/2 hours and $8 per hour, so the estimated earnings would be ...
6(8) +(1/2)(8) = 52 dollars . . . . estimated earnings
These values are purposely chosen so that one is a little high and the other is a little low, hopefully producing a closer estimate than if both numbers were high (as 7 hours, $8, for example).
__
b) Using 800 instead of 790 means the pay estimate is about 1/80 = 1.25% high.
Using 6 1/2 instead of 6 3/4 means the hours estimate is about 1/27 ≈ 3.7% low.
So, we expect the product of these values to be slightly low, perhaps by about 2.5%.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
If you can estimate the error in the estimate with some reasonable accuracy, you can use that to adjust the estimate to a pretty close value.
