Since we can add a number to a tens number easily, we make one of the addends a tens number when solving an addition problem.
Example 1:
Add 9 and 6.
9 + 6 = 9 + (1 + 5)
= (9 + 1) + 5
= 10 + 5 = 15
Note that adding 10 and 5 is much easier than adding 9 and 6.
Example 2:
Add 18 and 16.
18 + 16 = 18 + (2 + 14)
= (18 + 2) + 14
= 20 + 14 = 34
Note that adding 20 and 14 is much easier than adding 18 and 16.
Answer:
49 litres of petrol are needed to travel from town X to town Y and back.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, first off, the variable X and Y, as well as the distance given (124 km) aren't important pieces of information in this equation. They're only there to throw you off and confuse you.
25L of <em>p</em> (petrol) to make the entire journey. After the engine has been tuned, it requires 2% less <em>p</em> than before it was tuned.
2%/100 = 0.02
0.02 * 25L = 0.5L
25L - 0.5L = 24.5L
Now, don't forget, at the end of the word problem we're asked how many litres of <em>p</em> would be required to travel from <em>x</em> to <em>y</em> <em><u>AND BACK</u></em>. So it's not only 24.5L, it's double that (24.5 * 2 = 49L)
Good luck!!
9+2/3x<1
-9 -9
cross 9-9 out and your 1 becomes a -8
and left with
2/3x<-8
multiply 3 by 2/3 and that cancels 2/3 out. also multiply 3 by your -8
x = -24
Answer:
p(x)=2x-40
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the variables
p(x)=10x-(8x+40)
p(x)= 10x-8x-40
p(x)=2x-40
It lies between 32,000 and 33,000
