Answer:
replace x with each of the value then solve for the value
Step-by-step explanation:
when raised to the power of a negative you do the inverse
2^-2 = 2^1/2
Answer: 5/7
Step-by-step explanation: 7/5 is 1.4, which doesn't make sense as an answer here because it's a number greater than one, while we're looking for a number that can be made into a simple fraction, decimal or percent. 5 x 7 = 35, which also doesn't make sense for the same reasons but also because the answer is a division problem and this is multiplication. 7/7 equals one, which doesn't make sense because Melissa hasn't finished 100% of her homework yet. Therefore, the answer is 5/7.
Answer:
x-y=2.5,xy=21
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
One of the numbers is x.
The other number is y.
The difference between two numbers is 2.5
This means that x - y = 2.5
The product of those two numbers is 21.
This means that xy = 21.
So the two equations are: x-y=2.5,xy=21
Standard: 42.9005
expanded: 40 + 2 + 0.9 + 0.0005
