84/2 = 42
42/2 = 21
21/3 = 7
7/7 = 1
84 = 2^2 * 3 * 7
Furthest from 0, so I am going to take the absolute value of these numbers. The absolute value will tell us how far away from 0 these numbers are.
|-1/2| = |- 0.5| = 0.5
|8/9| = |0.88| = 0.88
|0.2| = 0.2
so the number furthest from 0 is 8/9
You need to type the same equation that’s shown above of the text box. If there’s still a technical issue, let me know, and I’ll try to help!
Answer:
60 books
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of books Willy has be x , then
Tammy has 4x books
Willy has 180 fewer books , that is Tammy has 180 more than Willy , so
4x = x + 180 ( subtract x from both sides )
3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 60
Thus
Willy has 60 books andTammy has 4 × 60 = 240 books
which is 180 more than Willy
(x + y = 125)3
5x - 3y = 41
3x - 3y = 375
8x = 416, x = 52
52 + y = 125, y = 73
Solution: the numbers are 52 and 73
