<h3>Answer:   54</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

T = tens digit

U = units digit (aka ones digit)

A number like 27 is really 20+7 = 2*10 + 7*1 = 10*2 + 1*7. We have 2 in the tens digit and 7 in the units digit. So 27 can be written in the form 10T + U where T = 2 and U = 7. Reversing the digits gives 72, so T = 7 and U = 2 now. Clearly the difference between the digits 7 and 2 is not 1, so 27 or 72 is not the answer (as it's just an example).

-----------------------

Let T be larger than U. This doesn't work if T = U.

Because T is larger, saying "The difference between the digits is 1" means T - U = 1. We can isolate T to get T = U+1. We'll use this later.

-----------------------

If T > U, then the original number 10T+U reverses to the new number 10U+T and it becomes smaller. We are told that it becomes 5/6 of what it used to be.

So,

new number = (5/6)*(old number)

10U + T = (5/6)(10T + U)

6(10U + T) = 5(10T + U)

60U + 6T = 50T + 5U

60U + 6(U+1) = 50(U+1) + 5U ... plug in T = U+1

60U + 6U + 6 = 50U + 50 + 5U

66U + 6 = 55U + 50

66U - 55U = 50-6

11U = 44

U = 44/11

U = 4 is the units digit of the original number

T = U+1

T = 4+1

T = 5 is the tens digit of the original number

The original number is therefore 10T + U = 10*5+4 = 54.

We see the difference in their digits is T-U = 5-4 = 1

The reverse of 54 is 45. The number 45 is 5/6 of 54

45 = (5/6)*54

The wheels on Karen’s rollerblades each have a diameter of 5 cm. How far will the rollerblade travel in one turn of the wheel? U
Ierofanga [76]
To find the distance in one turn of the wheel you have to find the circumference of the wheel.

Circumference = pi x d
= 3.14 x 5
= 15.7 cm

therefore the rollerblade wheel will travel 15.7 cm per rotation

hope this helps! if you did not understand a step or concept please let me know!

Multiply the binomial and the trinomial. <br> (x-2)(x^2+2x+4)
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to multiple x and -2 by x^{2} + 2x + 4 and add the results together:

x(x^{2} + 2x + 4)

x^{3} + 2x^{2} + 4x

-2(x^{2} + 2x + 4)

-2x^{2} - 4x - 8

Adding the two together give the following:

(x^{3} + 2x^{2} + 4x) + (-2x^{2} - 4x - 8)

x^{3} - 8

I need help solving this problem.
madam [21]

(f+g-k)(x) means to add the equations f(x) and g(x) then subtract k(x)

2x^2 + 3x + 4x - 9 = 2x^2 +7x -9

2x^2 + 7x - 9 - x^2 -7x = x^2 -9

The answer is : x^2 - 9

Part A: You have $0.80 in your backpack in dimes and quarters. Let x represent the number of dimes and y represent the number of
Alik [6]
Part A: 0.10x + 0.25 = 0.80 (dimes are 10 cents or 0.10 dollars, quarters are 0.25 dollars)
Part B: Plug in what you DO know and solve the one you DON’T:
0.10x + 0.25(2) = 0.80
0.10x + 0.50 = 0.80. Subtract 0.50 from both sides:
0.10x = 0.30 (Divide both sides by 0.10)
x = 3
Therefore you have 3 dimes
