The quotient of -15 and w

1 answer:

6 0

If you're dividing -15 by w then the answer would be -15/w. This is because the value of w has not been determined yet and a number cannot be divided by a variable.

If you're dividing w by -15, the same situation would occur due to the fact that a variable cannot be divided by a number. The answer would be w/-15.

A variable is merely a "placeholder", for lack of better terms, for a number(s) that have not been identified yet.

I hope I cleared this up!

The sum of two integers is 9 and the sum of their squares is 53. Find the integers.

Schach [20]

X + y = 9 Subtract x from both sides.
y = 9 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 53
x^2 + (9 - x)^2 = 53 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 81 - 18x + x^2 = 53 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 - 18x + 81 = 53 Subtract 53 from both sides.
2x^2 - 18x + 81 - 53 = 0
2x^2 - 18x + 28 = 0 This factors, but you can see it much easier if you pull out 2 as a common factor.
2(x^2 - 9x + 14) = 0
2(x - 2)(x - 7) =0 You could divide by 2 on both sides. But you can also leave it.
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
If x = 2 then y = 7
If x = 7 then y = 2

Estimate the quotient for 49 / 311

Makovka662 [10]

To get a close estimate, we can round 49 up to 50 and 311 down to 300, obtaining an estimate of 50/300 = 1/6, or 0.1666... as a repeating decimal. That decimal approximation is a little less than one hundredth away from the actual decimal approximation of ≈ 0.1576
