Answer: x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that you are using the variable "y" in the space (meaning I took your equation to be -2x+y=-12), you used the value of -2. This gives you -2x-2=-12. Wait! We can add -2 to both sides, which gives us -2x=-10. We can then divide -2 from both sides, which makes x stand alone, and the other side to be 5. Therefore x=5.

Remember that I am writing this solution assuming that you are using the variable "y" in the blank space with a co-efficient of 1.

I hope this helps. If my understanding is wrong, then comment below and I will give you the correct answer in no time :)

Write 0.0059 in scientific notation.
polet [3.4K]
Hi!

When we write a number in scientific notation, we write it like this:
N × 10^{x}

N = a number between one and 10
x = negative if the decimal is moved to the right. positive if moved to the left.

Okay, so we need to move the decimal in the number <span>0.0059 to the right to make it between one and 10.
0.0059
00.059
000.59
0005.9
5.9

N = 5.9
5.9 </span>× 10^{-x}

Since we moved the decimal to the right 3 times,
x = -3

5.9 × 10^{-3}
^ the answer

Hope this helps! :)
