Answer:

  • Find the place value of the most significant digit
  • Write the number using that place value as a multiplier
  • 1×10^-9

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps immensely if you understand how place value works in a decimal number system. It also helps if you understand the rules of exponents.

Around the decimal point, the place values are ...

  (hundreds) (tens) (ones) . (tenths) (hundredths) (thousandths)

Each location to the right of any given place has a place value that is 1/10 of the one to its left. When there get to be many factors of 10, it is useful to use exponents to represent the repeated multiplication.

  1/10 = 1/10^1

  1/100 = 1/10^2

  1/1000 = 1/10^3

If you count carefully, you find the the digit 1 in your number is in the 9th place to the right of the decimal point, so its multiplier is 1/10^9. That is ...

  0.000000001 = 1/10^9

By the rules of exponents, a positive exponent in the denominator is the same as its opposite exponent in the numerator, so this number can also be written as ...

  0.000000001 = 1×10^-9 . . . . scientific notation

X = -1!
1. Factor out 2 from the expression : 2(x-5) / 4 = 3x
2. Reduce the fraction with 2 : x-5 / 2 = 3x
3. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 : x-5=6x
4. Move the terms : x - 6x = 5
5. Collect like terms : -5x = 5
6. Divid both sides by -5
Hope this helps!
